Midjourney servers were aggressively hit at 12 AM this Saturday by an account linked to data collection engineers at Stability AI, leading to a 24-hour server outage for Midjourney users and a temporary ban on Stability AI employees using the software. The account was first flagged by Midjourney engineers late Saturday, Pirate Wires has discovered, when they noticed it was aggressively “trying to get all the prompts and images for every member inside the website.” These requests overwhelmed the company’s servers and took down part of its database for 24 hours. Upon banning the user and investigating further, Midjourney employees discovered the account “was linked by two credit cards to one of the main data collection engineers on the Stable Diffusion team [at Stability AI].” In response, the company has decided to ban all employees of Stability AI from using its software until further notice.
