Hey community, we are publishing this post to let users know beforehand that there are scammers running fake clones of our service. Do not access any website that claims to be us, but is not one of our main addresses.

Correct addresses:

  • trocador.app

  • trocadorfyhlu27aefre5u7zri66gudtzdyelymftvr4yjwcxhfaqsid.onion

Fake websites:

  • troccador, troccadoor, trocadoor (any other typo)

  • trocadupz35kdyzgqpadqor4jk7u4lmbo2(…).onion

Right now our services are suffering non-stop DDoS attacks for the last three weeks, and they are using ToR exit nodes to conduct such attack (both through clear net and onion). For this reason we had to turn off our Onion link, as we are working into pushing changes to mitigate the attack. There’s a chance that these fake websites might be related to the attack, they might be trying to lure users into their fake clones, so it is important to Bookmark the correct website. Stay safe! Our team is small, but we are working into going back to normal.–

    We are just updating the community to let people know that services are disrupted right now, not working 100%. We need to be open about this otherwise users will complain asking why we did this or that, so we are just being transparent. We also need to let users know there are fake websites running because we have already seen some users lose money to these scams, so this is quite important. About what you also said, yes, many other onion websites are suffering attacks as well. I believe eXch was suffering DDoS too, among others.

      I respect that. But I am also around long enough: Flooding attacks never lasted long in the past and did not cause permanent disruption. Iet’s not call it hacking, its plain old overloading. After 3-5 days its over usually and admins learnt a lot in that time. (Run a stressnet node!)

      And BTW trocador.app is loading as fast as ever here. All the best, your customers just need patience.

        Thanks! Yes, we are improving our firewall rules and this week we expect everything to be running smooth again.
