Abstract This paper investigates the fully distributed secure consensus for multi‐agent systems under rotation‐scale attacks, which combine both the rotational and scaling effects on system dynamics. Rotation‐scale attacks provide a new form of DoS attack, which can bypass traditional DoS detection mechanisms and cause control signal saturation. To enhance communication efficiency, a fully distributed event‐triggered control protocol with a double‐damping adaptive mechanism is proposed, which guarantees control signal unsaturation. Rigorous theoretical analysis proves the system's security under this approach. The effectiveness of the strategy is validated through a simulation with 20 single‐link robotic manipulators.
