EXMO Exchange Hit By DDoS Attack - DownTime Since 4 Hrs.
2021-02-15 | Eddy Morgan
Renowned cryptocurrency exchange EXMO is presently down at the reporting time, with
the firm revealing that it’s been hit by a DDoS [Distributed Denial-of-Service] attack.
The United Kingdom-based exchange
tweeted around 13:00 UTC earlier on Monday that its servers are temporarily unavailable
due to the attack
which it's "solving this issue."
Several hours later, work
to urge the location back online still seems to be ongoing.
A DDoS attack occurs when
a web service is hit with massive volumes of traffic
so as to slow or halt its operations.
The attack comes just 2 months after EXMO lost nearly 6% of its
cryptocurrency assets within a security breach on 21
st Dec., last year.
