Is this the new normal?

Admittedly, I'm pretty new to DNMs so please cut me some slack. In the past few days, we've seen TR leave (may still come back? idk) and we've seen nearly every other market fall under DDOS attacks. From Wall Street to Dream and even to Aero, these markets have been mostly unavailable for the past couple days.

Obviously the assumption here is that it's a targetted DDOS attack from LE. How sustainable are these attacks? Will they end soon, or is LE capable of sustaining these attacks on a constant basis? I know DDOS attacks aren't uncommon on the Darknet, but this seems crazy.

These are nation state-level actors we're talking about here. It will continue until they either attain their objective or find a new, more important target to point their bandwidth at.

DDOS attacks on the markets are normal period. There is thousands of agencies and individuals with reasons to slow and shut these things down. Many international policing efforts, white hat hackers, competing markets occasionally DDOS each other as well. So realistically it could be anyone but if you are on a market and find it slow that’s probably why.

ddos attacks are normal but the scale of this event is unprecedented

Dream has been up for me pretty much all day with mirrors. No where near as bad as the past few days. Who knows how long it will stay like that for though.

No, it's the Feds attempting to infiltrate and concur, we should rebel more . Where is the hydra? Where are the other 8 markets to go too? You
