Downtime in progress

10 - 30 min

We’ve had an incident: one of the users used our WebApp to show phishing pages.

Because of this, hosting providers started blocking our traffic, and this month we already got serious downtime — in total about 6 hours.

😰 The current downtime is also caused by this issue.

To protect the infrastructure and all other users, we made a simple decision:
we have temporarily disabled WebApp for HTML.

What still works:
- WebApp still works for JSON — you can fetch data from BB as before.
- For now, you should host your HTML on any external file/web hosting and use BB only as a JSON backend.

Unfortunately, everyone suffers because of a few users abusing the system. But this is necessary to avoid providers taking us down again due to phishing.

We’re already working on stricter filters and a safer WebApp option.
We’ll share updates when something changes.

Starting working....

Uptime.

Due this issue "hosting providers started blocking" - some users can have not working app now.

The provider is already working on a fix (status: In progress).

We are monitoring the situation and will restore the service as soon as connectivity is fully recovered.

Thank you for your patience.
