Hey, what actually causes the DDOS attack and who generally does it? Is it some individual who can do this and is it done purposefully or so?

I think if not mistaken even Unocoin was down due to this type of attack couple of months before.

Hope nothing went wrong in the process for Coinsecure today.

Got a mail asking for 10 BTC or they will attack with more power.
Someone basically blocks traffic to a website, so legitimate users cannot go through.

Nothing went wrong, we had to change some things around. Had a bit of downtime.
Came back a lot stronger though.
So basically you could file a police complaint for extortion and if you are lucky enough they might catch them. These sort of exortion DDos must be dealt with seriously as this has become a trend lately and soon as you receive the mail you must inform your hosting provider as well as your customers and good to see that you mitigated to cloudflare.

good job @coinsecure team!
Every exchange experience these kinds of attacks at one point or another. The attackers are getting better and so should we. Even 2 Factor authentications are not safe.  Hopefully we will find a fool proof security system in the future, that is as secure as the block-chain itself.

Damn , bloody DDOSers ... thanks for info sir , hope this gets solved asap Sad

Almost back up for now.
Looking into future mitigation, etc..

We have been hit many times before, nothing really affected it, this one was a professionally large load.


May be some more good Anti DDOS protection for future needed .
