What happened
The Filecoin space race started, and the CDSI alliance node "t02398" suffered a large number of malicious and illegal attacks. The attacker sent a large number of messages through the filtered whitelist to block the node, consuming a lot of calculations on the Lotus node, making the node unable to complete the task normally and eventually losing computing power.
