Attacks

What a DDoS attack looks like from the outside

During a DDoS attack, legitimate users experience slowness and errors. Scammers often use that confusion.

Symptoms

Very slow loading, timeouts, protection challenges and intermittent errors are common during attacks.

Why outages attract scams

When a service is unreachable, people search for alternatives, and fake 'working mirrors' appear quickly.

Patience is protective

Waiting for the service to recover is safer than trying addresses shared during an outage.

Watch for official updates

A reliable source will post dated updates about the incident on a Mars Market status page.
