The Ethereum network is currently undergoing a DoS attack

The Ethereum network is experiencing a computational denial-of-service attack targeting miners and nodes through the EXTCODESIZE opcode. The attack exploits a vulnerability where certain blocks require excessive processing time despite low gas prices, causing network disruption.

• →Ethereum is under an active computational DoS attack affecting network performance.
• →The attack exploits the EXTCODESIZE opcode which has low gas costs but high computational requirements.
• →Miners and nodes are experiencing significantly longer block processing times.
• →The attack targets state information reading operations to create network congestion.
• →This represents a critical vulnerability in Ethereum's gas pricing mechanism.
