After verification, you can now use Matters.News normally

On the afternoon of July 28 (East Eighth District), Matters.News encountered a large-scale DDoS attack from an unknown source, resulting in unstable services. After emergency treatment, the verification mechanism is currently activated. After passing the verification, you can use the website normally. All functions have been restored. The team is deeply sorry for the inconvenience caused to all members of the public.

This attack has also made us more strongly aware of the importance of decentralized storage and dissemination methods. We will speed up our exploration in this area. Recently, the team has been planning more decentralized content dissemination methods so that content can be distributed. Avoid malicious traffic and spread and share more freely. Please note: The previously affected scope was the Matters.News website itself, if you distribute content through IPFS nodes, it will not be affected.

The working team is still paying close attention to the status of the website. If you find any problems during use, please feel free to report to us in the comment area. Thank you for your support and attention to Matters.
