Another day another exploit.
This time they hit the blockchain.
Yesterday $LTC suffered a coordinated DoS attack. Attackers tried double-spends through cross-chain swaps.
The root cause was a zero-day bug combined with outdated mining nodes that accepted invalid transactions.
Bug is now fixed.
A 13-block reorg (~3 hours) was required to resolve the chain.
The fork originated at block 3095930.
Exploits are evolving fast.
Hope they don’t find a way to abuse new tech for draining wallets without private keys.
