BitConnect.co Is Down...


If you are a bitconnect user, you may have noticed that the website has been periodically down throughout the day.

What's going on BitConnect

Unless I hear otherwise, I suspect it is also suffering similar DDoS attacks which have plagued many of the larger exchanges over the last few weeks.

Mitigating DDoS Attacks

These attacks have resulted in exchanges increasing their security to mitigate these problems. It's why you'll often see pages like this:

Next Steps

In the case of BitConnet, it's up to their developers to solve the problem and for all of us that use it, we hope they can address this problem in a timely manner.

Stay Vigilant my Friends

As new cryptocurrency millionaires are being created everyday, where their funds are being stored are increasingly becoming high value targets.

It's not just the exchanges suffering these attacks but as we have seen just in the last week many of the wallets have been breached as well.

Just another reason to be vigilante, safeguard your funds and leave as little (or nothing) on an exchange and store your funds with a reputable cold storage wallet (like Trezor or Ledger).

Bitconnect went really high today so I went to check the site and got that same warning message and was unable to access the site. I wonder if maybe me using a cell phone as a hot spot for my laptop has something to do with it. Anyway, thank you for posting this as I was able to search and find an answer very quickly!

Its down again right now. Maintenance it says. Strange things is value dropped 30%??
