    <p>According to the company’s X (formerly Twitter) account, it fell victim to “a coordinated <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="attack" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/attack.html">attack</a> orchestrated by miners and highly technical devs alongside with DDOS <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="attack" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/attack.html">attack</a>” which “disrupted user access and affected the auction’s integrity.”</p>
    <p>The attack happened during the public sale of BitStable’s BSSB token and, according to the decentralized protocol, saw “an unauthorized party acquiring the majority of the available supply.”</p>
    <p>It said that the issue was caused by a combination of a DDoS attack and the use of multiple wallets interacting directly with the contract. In response, it has made the “<strong>difficult decision” to burn 75% of the BSSB tokens involved in the auction</strong>. This apparently “effectively multiplies the participation cost for the implicated parties by sixfold.”</p>

    <p>On its end, Bounce reportedly proxied the affected contract to a new address, however, according to blockchain intelligence firm ChainArgos, the new address “is not verified and publishes no ABI.”</p>
    <p>“We recognize the importance of robust and secure auction mechanisms,” Bounce said via X. “<strong>This incident, while unfortunate, has provided valuable insights</strong>. We are actively exploring enhanced solutions to ensure fair and transparent launches.</p>
    <p>“Our team is dedicated to maintaining a secure and equitable environment for all participants. We’re already working on additional auction utilities and system improvements. These measures aim to fortify our platform against similar incidents in the future.”</p>
