Manta co-founder: The DDoS attack we encountered this time was well-planned, and our funds are currently safe

ChainCatcher news, Manta Network co-founder and COO Kenny Li posted on social media that at the same time as their TGE event began (Beijing time 17:30), Manta Network started to experience a DDoS attack. Since then, the project team has seen over 135 million requests reaching the RPC nodes, indicating that this is a very aggressive and well-timed attack.

According to reports, the situation for Manta Network is as follows: blockchain operation is secure; product production is normal; funds are safe; communication between applications and the blockchain is severely restricted.
Currently, the Manta Network team is working around the clock to resolve the issue. They are developing more DDoS mitigation measures and communicating with partners and service providers to deploy countermeasures. This attack is much more ferocious than usual and has lasted significantly longer, which means that the time to resolve the issue will also be longer than usual.
