Notably, the attack comes just two months after the platform reported that hackers had stolen $10.5M in Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Bitcoin Cash, Tether and Zcash.
A DDoS attack like the one suffered by the exchange occurs when an online service is attacked with massive volumes of traffic in order to slow down or stop its operations.
