Less than a day after its release, the new version of ETH client was attacked by a new round of attacks

It is clear that the war over ETH (Ethereum fork) has intensified since the DAO attack.

The continuous attacks have proved that the ETH network is very vulnerable.

This address - 0x3898d7580aa5b8ad8a56fcd7f7af690e97112419 , which was previously used for spam attacks (causing the platform to fail to operate normally by sending a large amount of spam messages), is running at a rate of creating 30 contracts per minute, and has currently created more than 1,000 new contracts.

ETH was also attacked late last month.

All of the above can illustrate how vulnerable ETH, a smart contract platform, is and how it is completely unable to resist attacks.

Experts have long expected that attacks will expose ETH’s weaknesses sooner or later.

The ETH client was just fixed and was under the banner of "Come for me", but it was immediately attacked. How ironic.

Is this what you call reaping what you sow?

The new version of the Geth client 1.4.15 "Come at Me" can fix recent and various sophisticated DoS attacks!

Yes, the "Come at Me" client was attacked almost immediately after it was released.

"Come at me"...Okay, I'll grant your wish!

Has the high complexity once admired by the ETH community become its fatal weakness?

It turns out that ETH chose to fork when resolving the DAO incident, and since then, various troubles have continued to arise every time its client is repaired or updated.

It costs developers 25万美元per month to maintain the “database” of this smart contract platform, but there is no guarantee that it will operate 100% normally.

Users and investors need to constantly update and repair the client. Even if they use simple wallets or contracts, they must master certain techniques.

For users who plan to hold ETH for a long time, the constant attacks are like a nightmare and put them under tremendous pressure.

In short, the ETH smart contract platform still cannot ensure the normal operation of the network.

Below are some of the exchanges’ tweets.

All ETH assets have been offline. We are dealing with the spam attack on the Ethereum network and will restore it to normal as soon as possible.

Until the ETH team resolves the issue, ETH deposits and withdrawals will be slow.
