A failed DDoS attack on the Cardano blockchain led developers to initiate a node upgrade to enhance security.
A failed spam attack on the Cardano blockchain led developers to work on a node upgrade that could deter future distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks of a similar nature.
On June 25, the Cardano network experienced a DDoS attack starting at block 10,487,530. Raul Antonio, chief technology officer of Fluid Tokens, explained that the attack aimed to manipulate the Cardano blockchain into charging lower fees for high-value transactions.
Additionally, if successful, the attacker could steal staked Cardano (ADA) tokens from the network.
