On July 5, the information resource Bitcoin.org was subjected to a DDoS attack. Attackers demand to pay them 0.5 BTC (over $ 17,600 at the time of writing). That was announced by the operator of the site under the nickname Cobra.
“This is a very powerful attack and difficult to deal with. I don’t know how long we will be disconnected,” said Cobra.
A DDoS attack is a coordinated attempt to overwhelm a website with useless traffic and render it unusable.
