In a surprise development, cryptocurrency analytics platform CoinGlass confirmed that it fell victim to a sophisticated proxy attack, temporarily disrupting access to its website and services.
Large-scale proxy attack
According to a public statement from the company, the attack involved a “large-scale proxy attack” targeting the company’s infrastructure. While CoinGlass said the disruption was temporary, some users in certain regions reported that the platform was inaccessible or very slow for a period of time.
CoinGlass said:
The platform now appears to be back up and running normally for most users. CoinGlass said its engineering and security teams are investigating the “scope, origin, and purpose” of the attack.
This is a developing story. BeInCrypto will continue to provide updates as new information becomes available.
