What initial steps did I take when unable to access on Steemit?

Regarding this I want to say that I'm not continuous writer here because of my study and I love it, but I also want to be a blog writer and I'm thinking of do it continuously from now. So from last few days I tried to post but when I tried the site, it is showing error 505/503 I exactly don't remember and I never seen this error on the site. But I didn't worried much because this usually happens with other websites as well when the server face heavy load.so I waited for recovery at first.

As I told I faced similar things before with other websites as well I prefer to wait. but I hope it should fixed as soon as possible so I can publish and explore it more as I'm coming after a huge gap of time. But there is nothing I can do except wait.

How I felt after 24 hours of not being able to access on Steemit?

After 24 hrs, I feel a little worried Because it is taking more time than expected and tried to search what to do what is the reason, then I know about some other options to access Steemit but I didn't tried those options wait one more day.

What do you think is the possible cause of the server down?

I found that there is a hacking attempt going on some API, shared by the ety001. So I didn't understand it what is but understood only that a hacking attack so server is affected and down.
