Kind of beginning to wonder if the #Monero ecosystem itself is under attack.

A few weeks ago, a Bitcoin exchange called #bisq was hacked and the most common pair on that exchange is Bitcoin to Monero.

Then, like a week ago, another decentralized exchange called Thor Chain that is in the process of adding Monero was hacked.

Then yesterday #haveno was exploited

And I'm hearing rumors that a Bitcoin to Monero Atomic Swap service (eigen wallet) is under distributed denial of service attacks.

When you put all of those together in a three or four-week timeframe, that begins to seem a lot less like accidents and a lot more like intentional sabotage.

I wonder which three-letter agency it is.

Seems just as likely it's LLM-assisted hackers no?

As long as Monero is a threat they will always try to attack it.

Could be for the financial reward. Lets be honest, there is no normie traction going on with any of this stuff. Whats happening wit android and operating systems in general may get people to noticed the cage we are in.
