This Binance DDOS attack and the ability of the company to bounce back from it without a loss have instilled better confidence in users of the platform.
The company handled any identified loopholes from the current Binance DDOS attack, and users assured of the safety of the platform. But irrespective of who launched the attack, it’ll be interesting to see what follows.
