A practical guide

A denial-of-service (DoS) attack attempts to make a website or network unavailable by overwhelming it or exploiting a weakness. A distributed denial-of-service attack uses traffic from many devices, which can make filtering more difficult. The visible symptom may be a slow or unreachable service.Network {nodes|nodes} and web servers have different roles, but both need protection.nodes

What to know

Service operators can reduce risk with traffic filtering, capacity planning, monitoring, and incident-response procedures. No single measure prevents every attack, and users should rely on official service updates if access is interrupted. Repeatedly retrying a request may not help during an outage.If a message about UIGame asks you to visit an unfamiliar address, use the {account security guide|security} to check it first.account security guide

Using this information

A temporary outage does not prove that funds or account details were compromised. Avoid sharing passwords or verification codes with anyone claiming to provide urgent support, and contact the service through its published help channels.
