🔒To clarify, no
$XCB coin was stolen during the AS Pool attack, and no additional benefits were gained by any malicious actors. This was a so-called denial-of-service attack targeting our primary public pool serving Asia-located clients.
As a result of the attack, some hardware resources of the pool's infrastructure were exhausted, rendering it unable to verify and accept shares from miners. We have traced and identified the origin of the attack.
Furthermore, we have a robust pool infrastructure, and our backup mining pool was ready to serve Asian clients during this incident. Therefore, please check your mining scripts to ensure that pool switching is enabled. This will effectively prevent idle mining and the loss of potential rewards.
Following the investigation into the incident, we have implemented proper configuration changes to minimize the risks of such attacks occurring in the future. Additionally, we plan to deploy a more sophisticated filtering mechanism for the pool's incoming traffic to ensure a rock-solid mining experience going forward.
