Technology to Support Large User Volumes
Though there was an attack, Magnetic X changed and adjusted the scale of servers to handle millions of requests from users.

Exchange users were assured that now Magnetic is 100% secure and working as it should be. But, it suggested to clear browser cookies if the website is having any issues left over it.

This is not the first time the same has happened to Magnetic X for the company has faced the attack before. In January, the exchange received ‘a massive’ DDoS attack on the XRP ledger when millions of records overwhelmed nodes and impacted the ability for the historical transaction record of the ledger to function properly.
