In a short period, 375,000 access requests were registered with the objective of taking the service offline.

Despite the significant number of malicious commands, the cybersecurity team stated that they have not detected any signs of system compromise or exposure of sensitive files. They attribute this success to the website's multi-layered protection architecture, which effectively blocks, detects, and contains invasion attempts. The campaign asserts that the malicious commands were ultimately unsuccessful.
