On May 5th-6th, HyperSwap faced a severe DDoS attack that affected their website and applications. Lacking adequate DDoS protection, they leveraged a fallback version via IPFS to maintain accessibility. Aleph Cloud quickly intervened, implementing a custom anti-DDoS solution that redirected traffic and stabilized HyperSwap's infrastructure. Despite initial performance degradation, the API remained live, and internal systems were activated to counter the attack. This incident is notable for being the first deployment of Aleph Cloud's experimental anti-DDoS system, aimed at safeguarding decentralized applications from similar threats.
HyperSwap's infrastructure initially lacked a proxy and sufficient protection against DDoS attacks, but a fallback version via IPFS, pinned on our network, offered some resilience.
Our team reacted immediately by implementing a custom anti-DDoS solution, offloading attack traffic to a black hole and stabilizing the situation for HyperSwap.
This incident marked the first successful deployment of Aleph Cloud's experimental anti-DDoS solution, developed specifically to protect decentralized applications from targeted disruptions.
While HyperSwap's main server was overwhelmed during the attack, our internal systems ensured that the API remained live, allowing the team to manage the crisis effectively.
