I wonder if Hive could succumb to a similar attack. @gtg,@blocktrades, @stoodkev do you guys know if the chain has protections in place that would prevent this at scale?

Resource credits should limit the impact already, plus there are new flood countermeasures coming to chain.

Thank you for answering and for providing the link. I'm always interested in how these attacks playout and what countermeasures we can put in place. Thanks for all you do for the chain.

that username is funny

Yeah I was thinking the same thing.
🤣 I even have a suspect in mind. There was a dude on X that kept talking about bringing "Hive" down with a DDOS attack. Through discussion I later realized that he meant Hive-engine.

I guess it's not really a DDOS attack. Just a DOS.
