According to reports, the Solana network continues to suffer from DDoS attacks

According to the report, Solana’s blockchain suffered another DDoS attack today, but the network is now back in good shape. This is the third incident of its kind in the past few months.

Solana attacked again DDoS

According to a famous journalist Colin Wu in China, SOL ceased operations on January 4th. The attacker is suspected of using spam to carry out a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack. The network was online again after about 4 hours. DDoS attacks often overwhelm or clog the network by sending multiple requests to the victim’s web resources and hampering the operating platform.

Although there are no official details to confirm the event announced by the Solana Foundation, this incident marks the third in the past six months. Also some accounts on Twitter confirm SOL “runs very slowly” instead of shutting down. Members of the r / CryptoCurrency subreddit too report this problem and the declaration of “the system’s vulnerability” is a “death knell for serious traders”.

“Blaming the attackers is dishonest. A well-designed blockchain must not provide relief to attackers, it must continue to generate blocks based on the parameters of the network and must not pause because someone spammed the transaction. ”

Solana’s technical problems

As mentioned earlier, this isn’t the first time SOL has suffered a DDoS attack. Solana status already report The network was unstable for 45 minutes last September.
