Blender.org, the official website of the popular 3D computer graphics software Blender, is now in maintenance mode according to a message displayed on the site.

"The blender.org - Home of the Blender project - Free and Open 3D Creation Software website is undergoing maintenance due to a hacking attempt," the official Blender account on Twitter said earlier today, adding that "the website will be back as soon as possible."
"Most of the infrastructure, including the Wiki, Developers portal, git repositories, blender.chat, and others are available as usual," Blender added.

According to Blender, parts of the blender.org website and some of the blogs are still down and will remain offline for several hours.

While the site's homepage is still working, as usual, other parts of the site only display a "This page is not available" error, encouraging visitors to check "a copy on the Internet Archive."
