🚀Cardano's recent DDoS attack turned out to be a failed attempt at blockchain burglary! The attacker aimed to trick the system into charging lower fees for high-value transactions, hoping to steal staked ADA tokens. But, our heroes, the Cardano devs, outsmarted the attacker, reclaimed the stolen tokens, and stopped the attack.🛡️

😂Philip Disarro, CEO of Anastasia Labs, thanked the attacker for the "free money" and pointed out the irony of the attacker inadvertently donating to the open-source smart contract development work. Talk about a plot twist!

Despite the attack, the Cardano network was not compromised and continued to function normally. However, the network experienced a higher load than usual, affecting some stake pool operators.

Intersect, a member-based organization for the Cardano ecosystem, confirmed the attack and thanked the developer community for their swift action. They're working on a solution to further reduce the impact of such spam attacks and will share the new node version for SPOs to upgrade to once thoroughly tested and deployed.
