Odaily News GMGN co-founder Haze posted on the X platform, "The platform has been under intermittent traffic attacks recently, with the goal of bringing down our website. But we have always withstood it. We have not issued a notice every time.
At around 8 pm this evening, a large amount of traffic suddenly poured in, causing the website to pop up a human-machine verification window. The website did not crash, but it affected the user experience. GMGN also opened a crawler IP whitelist for many community users (some users who can do data analysis, small products, and small businesses by themselves). Basically, it was opened with zero conditions, and even if there was a condition, we basically did not review it. So there are still many crawlers of community users on our website. In the future, we plan to strengthen traffic countermeasures to deal with traffic attack incidents and ensure user experience. We also plan to start stopping some crawler IP whitelists. "
