@MrBenLilly @Blockstream @bitfinex We've seen that in the crash to 28000$ nobody claimed DDoS then. Yet a lot of issues where happened then, if you remember. They are actually lawsuits based on that. So this DDoS they try to pull up their Terms of Usage as not their fault , because huge financial damage.

@ECool021 @bitfinex My coinbase was hacked, i lost all my money, NO LIVE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!! They don’t help when your account is hacked. They act as if the FDIC doesn’t guarantee your money, luckily enough for I was suggest to contact @Internet_saver who recover my account back

@paoloardoino @bitfinex Right decision but 10x shouldn't be a problem for a platform like @bitfinex

@fintechfrank I have never seen bitfinex down on market moves like this before. It says to me it was more likely an actual co-ordinated attack on the ecosystem rather than organic users hitting exchanges

(@MrBenLilly) reported
@CryptoHellspawn @Blockstream @bitfinex Are you trying to DDOS attack my twitter feed? Very curious about the orderbook issue... Not sure it was an inverse orderbook, but instead prices being displayed were done with a $8 spread? Liquidation engine issue?

@paoloardoino the problem is, that most of you (exchanges like Bitfinex, binance, coindesk, kraken etc.) start having "issues" just moments before price crashes. used to it.

@0x_Jonathan Yes, Bitfinex definitely went down because of DDOS. And ye I'm sure volume didn't help either.

@MajorZaroff @JorgeStolfi @droskill Not true. Try torrenting from your real IP and you’ll be permabanned after three strikes. A stern letter to Deltec’s US correspondent bank would shut down Tether, and thus Bitfinex and probably every other exchange.

@AlamedaTrabucco What role do you think that the attack that took Bitfinex down during the crash played? The most liquid spot market and obviously used as reference by many MMs. Significant arb liquidity gone. That felt like a coordinated attack together with this move.

@NickBRZ_513 @nayibbukele @IMFNews You can't fix any issues with crypto by buying your head in the sand and pretending it doesn't exist. If you want crypto to be a real alternative you'd have to stop exchanges like bitfinex manipulating the price by printing infinite amounts of unbacked tether to pump it

@alistairmilne Shame on you #Bitfinex ! It is not as if they were taken by surprise! You had plenty of time to adjust your tech & competences. Now again it is at the cost of your faithful supporters. Not being able to trade when everything goes down is very frustrating and costly.

@MrBenLilly @Blockstream @bitfinex As users reported was a temporary bug in Binance UI. Multiple reported that. - limit prices not being filled even though both futs and mark price crossed - market orders getting 15 seconds delays being filled - p&l updates just not happening. - 500 and 404 errors.

@zhusu Who even gets DDOSed these days tf. Fluxcdn is invincible, ddos guard . Net is good or even cloudflare has balance loaders smh. Bitfinex doesn’t go down unless it wants to

@WholeMarsBlog Yikes that is not good. The ponzi part of crypto could start coming down now. Like dominos. Tether. Coinbase. Bitfinex. Liquidity event tho. After the flush, regulation will follow and that's actually good for the industry long term. US digital currency replaces #tether, #usdc.

Damn 3AC looks like they took a big hit today on bitfinex. Went from like 18mil unrealized profit down to less than 2 mil currently. Not seeing any realized profit, so appears they were stopped out for most of their gains. Even the mighty can fall

@SpillyGuy Did Bitfinex ever confirm that it was a DDoS attack? I couldn’t find any reference to that from their status updates on Twitter or on their website.

(@h3_extrachars) reported
@NFTurbo @GrindingPoet @FTX_Official Ultimately it is a 'nature of the internet' problem. Bitfinex has always walked the organic load spikes associated with big market moves, when the rest of the industry really often hasn't, but I don't think you can ever be immune from a sufficiently sophisticated targetted DDOS

Bitfinex is Down due to DDoS Attack. #Bitcoin

@ha1331 Not harsh at all. It's happened so many times now that I simply accept it as status quo. But the reason I highlighted this is because Bitfinex went down several hours before the price started dropping. And there are rumors that it was a DDoS attack (although have yet to confirm).

2016 - The Banks will never use Bitcoin. Watch as these so called exchanges get hacked go down one by one starting w/ Bitfinex! 2017 - China bans Bitcoin! Sell it all to the Koreans! 2018 - Bitcoin is rat poison! Bitcoin is dead for the 1 millionth time! Hello Bitcoin orbituary!

@MrBenLilly @Blockstream @bitfinex I think was a failure of their backend due to overflow into their Matching + Liquidation engines. Its up to them what they report. As well a lot of API issues. Their Vercel + AWS considering 2 separate instances and location wise seems more like an error inside engines.

Anyone else notice the timing of the Bitfinex service interruption and the crash? Looks like Bitfinex went offline while BTC was still trading around $51,000. The price didn’t start tanking until almost two hours later. Just curious.

@RevoltCap I wonder about the impact of the attack that took Bitfinex down before and during the move. It's the most liquid spot market and obviously used as reference by many market makers. Significant arb liquidity gone. Felt like a coordinated effort.

@bitfinex #bitfinex what do you think the opportunity cost plus the fact that because your system failed me hours before the dip cost me? #dumbasses you should be shut down !

@parman_the @bitfinex It’s OK, it looks like Chivo registrations went down too. It means Salvadorians will get more sats for their $30, those that hold the sats anyway.
