Title: Bitcoin Gold Site suffered from DDoS Attack
Post by: CryptoGirl on October 28, 2017, 01:40:40 PM

When Bitcoin Gold split, a tweet was sent out that alerted the community that a massive DDoS attack had hit the website.

Quote

"Massive DDoS attack on our cloud site, 10M requests per minute. We are working with the providers to ban all the IPs. We will be up soon!"

A bot network of hijacked devices were accessing the Bitcoin Gold site 10 mln times a minute in order to block out legitimate traffic.
