Popular crypto game Stepn was hit with a number of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks this weekend, the third such occurrence in as many months.
According to the app’s Twitter page, devs of the platform were still working to fix the issue at the time of this writing.
“We have been under multiple DDOS attacks in the past hours,” those behind the game said in a tweet on Sunday. “Securing the servers and recovery may take anywhere from 1 to 12 hours.”

Another tweet read: “We recommend you take some rest during the maintenance or otherwise the work-outs may not be recorded properly. Our engineers are working hard to fix the problems.”
And yesterday, users also were notified that the game was experiencing “network congestion” after it was hit with 25 million DDoS attacks in a short period.
