Coinglass Reports Large-Scale Proxy Attack Disrupting Website Access

The crypto analytics platform says the incident blocked users from viewing liquidation data earlier today.

Fact Check
The statement is directly confirmed and corroborated by multiple sources. Source 1 (BeInCrypto) explicitly reports in its headline and content that Coinglass was affected by a large proxy attack which disrupted access. Source 2 (CoinGecko) directly corroborates this information by citing the BeInCrypto story with the headline 'CoinGlass Hit by Large-Scale Proxy Attack – Access Disrupted'. The other sources are irrelevant as they do not address this specific incident.
