@americanpegasus, also known as katiecharms on Reddit has posted this on /r/aeon after it was confirmed that there was some group attacking Aeon by renting Amazon cloud servers and mining with them using Aeon-pool.
The attack was stopped, but the Aeon community does not know those who are responsible for it.
In any case, I have some suspicions on who they are. Try to guess who hehehe.
Such an action, to rent such a massive amount of hashing power in the short term and point it at the largest pool doesn't ring anything but malicious. I'm wondering what their motives and ultimate intentions were.Read the full thread https://www.reddit.com/r/Aeon/comments/7ja0y4/aeon_was_under_attack_by_rented_amazon_cloud/
