During the course of this weekend, the Bitcoin.org site suffered a DDoS attack. The website is known to contain the code behind bitcoin, which can prove to be invaluable in the crypto world. Therefore it is essential that this code remain safe. Fortunately this did not affect the bitcoin price, as we have seen the bitcoin price continue to rise and prosper despite this attack. Bitcoin.org is now back up and running, but it was stated that during the price hikes that bitcoin experiences, DDoS attacks such as this one are quite common. While the IP of the hacker is based in Russia, with the use of VPNs and other means to hide your ip address it is very difficult to be assured of where this attack has come from.
