DDoS Attack
Estimated loss
VERDICT —OUT OF SCOPE
Root cause is infrastructure (DNS / cloud / database / third-party API) compromise, not on-chain contract logic. Pre-deployment source review would not surface this; coverage lives in cloud-security + supply-chain audit, separate discipline.

Forensic narrative

Siastats tweeted that the Sia network, a decentralized storage project, has been under continuous DDoS attacks in the past two days. The targets of the attacks are network hosts and storage providers. The attacks have caused about 30% of host connections to be interrupted. Siastats stated that network functions were not affected. Only some of the host operators indicated that the Internet connection was interrupted. The affected operators can contact the Sia Foundation to mitigate the negative impact of the attack. The attack did not cause huge losses, and the network will continue to operate normally. Attack method (per SlowMist): DDoS Attack. Reported loss: -.
