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.
