Ontology Mainnet Paused Due to Confirmed Malicious Attack

Ontology's mainnet has been paused due to a confirmed malicious attack. The pause began on August 31 and is expected to last at least 24 hours, according to an update from the project developers. This outage raises concerns about the security and availability of the blockchain, its DeFi integrations, and CEX connections.

The project's mainnet was put into containment mode in response to targeted malicious activity. Ontology developers have confirmed that a malicious attack prompted this action. The full impact on adoption and token market performance is yet to be determined.

Meanwhile, the Cronos and Injective chains are back online after their respective pauses were lifted. This contrasts with the situation for Ontology's mainnet.
