The Ethereum network has allegedly been under a spam attack that’s meant to harm its reputation, according to various Reddit users and analysts. Recently, transaction fees surged over 100% as the cryptocurrency’s network was being clogged with transactions. DApp creator Justo, from the team that launched two gambling games called PoWH3D and Fomo3D, claims 40% of the Ethereum network was being used by a contract that issued an ERC-20 standard token called “IFishYunYu.” The token, per Justo, has no features, and does nothing. Despite its uselessness, thousands of alleged spam accounts are transferring massive amounts of these tokens for no apparent reason, with some flowing through the controversial FCoin exchange. Per Justo, the exchange is just a ruse, as the real attacker is EOS. Speaking to TrustNodes, the dApp developer claims thousands of these tokens have been appearing, presumably in an attempt to launch the attack: Thousands of random tokens, with no website, or bootstrapped template websites made in hours. Wasting hundreds of ethereum daily, hundreds of thousands of dollars to drop tokens. This happened up until the launch of EOS, on the 6th, then immediately stopped. Justo

Then again maybe Dan is out of the loop.
