🚨 Litecoin has big trouble!


On Saturday, it was attacked via a zero-day vulnerability, and 13 blocks were reorganized!
How did the hacker do it?
First, they used a DoS attack to cripple the mining pool, then, amid the chaos, launched a chain reorganization using the zero-day vulnerability, directly rolling back 13 blocks.
13 blocks—at Litecoin’s speed, that means nearly dozens of minutes of transaction history were almost wiped out.
But the good news is: the vulnerability has been patched, and the network is back to normal.
Still, the more you think about it, the more terrifying it is—
Once a zero-day vulnerability is patched, who knows whether there’s a next one?
What big players and institutions fear most is this kind of “uncertainty.”
It seems fine right now, but what about next time?
Stay tuned—when it comes to sudden incidents in the crypto world, I’ll be the first to break it down for you clearly. #比特币突破7.9万美元 $BTC
