Tether CTO Confirmed DDOS Attacks on the Website

High Risk: Addresses flagged as high risk indicate a strong association with suspicious activity and potential involvement in fraudulent schemes. Caution is advised when dealing with such addresses.
Suspicious: Addresses classified as suspicious may have some indicators of potential risks. Although not necessarily indicative of illicit activities, it is advisable to exercise caution and further scrutiny when engaging with these addresses.
Medium Risk: Addresses labeled as medium risk suggest a moderate level of potential risk. While not as alarming as high-risk addresses, it is still prudent to proceed with caution.
Low Risk: Addresses categorized as low risk indicate minimal or negligible potential risk, providing a higher level of confidence in their legitimacy.

It’s been confirmed that the website tether.io suffered a DDOS attack over the weekend.

This Saturday, June 18, the number of requests for the website increased by four times, from 2,000 to 8,000. Even though the attack is believed to be mitigated, the ‘under attack mode’ will remain on, just to prevent further risks, according to the Tether CTO Paolo Ardoino.

The ‘under attack mode’ is a Cloudflare’s DNS management service’s feature that protects the website from DDOS attacks by making users complete an additional security check. For human viewers it means that the browser will either open the website with a few-second delay or the user will have to complete a captcha to access the platform. The Tether CTO added that the security move shouldn’t affect the productivity of the website much.
