🚨 Last night, the Internet Computer network withstood a widespread, AI-enabled attack, which involved hundreds of canisters using malformed Wasm modules.
In advance of ICP cloud engines, Open SaaS, Intelligence Gateway, and MULTI/DEX, we are seeing a rising tide of attacks.
As many ICP community members have pointed out, a legion of trolling and FUD accounts have now appeared on social media, often repeating exactly the same poisonous messages, over and over, en masse.
The posts of the trolls trace back to agency paymasters, who themselves have received money from somebody. Obviously, whoever is funding this has no place in the tech industry, but sadly some people in the crypto industry see themselves as belonging to something else.
The well-funded organizations behind these attacks are not interested in making the world a better place by developing game-changing technology. They are only interested in extracting easy money through snakeoil narratives and scams that our industry still has not gathered the strength to end — they are vampires that prey on the ignorance of token buyers, and they attack anything that might disrupt the status quo by showing people the light of real technology.
These tell themselves they are just crypto bros playing the crypto game.
However, paying for, or organizing, attacks on public infrastructure, even at arms length, is a serious criminal act, which also reflects who they really are.
We want to know who is behind these attacks, and ask for help. DFINITY will offer rewards to those who can help us unmask the criminals, and bring them to justice. These guys need to be doxxed.
Thank you for your attention in this, and thank you to the ICP community that stands with the network 💪
Get off your SaaS.
Introducing OpenSaaS - An entire business software suite, as easy to install as a phone app.
Free forever. No per-seat fees. Remixable. Change any app by describing the change to AI.
AIware: AI agents work across every app, grounded in your live business data.
Sovereign: Your company owns the software and holds the keys.
Runs on Cloud Engines - the tamperproof and always on network.
DFINITY is migrating to Open SaaS:
a) Running on AIware makes enterprises vastly smarter, faster, and more efficient, and;
b) Open SaaS is free and remixable, while ineffective old SaaS costs a fortune.
Super excited to be sharing this ICP cloud engine rocket fuel asap.
@PierreSamaties@TheTo1113@ajki76@wasteomind86 Business as usual.
Like the reports a16z etc. are publishing on a regular basis. Its not worth mentioning Dfinity or $ICP at all, no matter what.
👉 Saving the world from massive cyberattacks is just not important. 😅
@coinbureau Of course they will use their own solutions. Why should they use the previous cycle blockchains?
Probably they will build on $ICPs Cloud Engines. Would be smart from them to do.
The national messenger app we are building for Pakistan is making great progress. It's live on the 🇵🇰 cloud engine and in testing phase with a smaller group, including native iOS and Android apps.
In fact it, already became on of my favourite chat and audio/video call apps given how smooth and clean it is.
So nice to see how all the technological breakthroughs are now coming together:
Sovereign, tamperproof, always-on Cloud + onchain messenger + identity + encryption + scalable architecture.
Also, years of experience and lessons learned from @OpenChat have been flowing into this.
Looking forward to the next phase.
@mosesibb I can imagine that Google is even supporting Cloud Engines.
Like Microsoft, they’re a software company, and they can still sell their software when it runs on Cloud Engines. And they don’t have to deal with the physical infrastructure in different regions.
@pete_rizzo_ If a token has no max supply + low/no revenue, you as a holder are just exit liquidity!
👉It’s the same inflation mechanism as in the real economy.
But I’m sure you’ll get rich just by holding US dollars. 🥳🥳🥳
The Open SaaS suite mission — every enterprise SaaS app you can imagine, reimagined in the form of AIware, vastly more powerful, free forever, reimixable, and as easy to run on an ICP cloud engine as a phone app.

The lives of Trezor owners are now at risk. Crooks can now turn up at their houses to try and extort assets from them, as per https://t.co/sOY8vstR7M
This is why ICP introduced Internet Identity 5 years ago. Passkeys = *decentralized* security.
