Litecoin incident post-mortem is out.
0day bug that wasn’t properly patched across all mining pools
caused a block re org
doesn’t seem like user funds affected
all mining pools are properly updated now
chain is back to normal
hardly anyone really seemed to notice (or care)
another exploit
Insane how many exploits are happening within such a short time span.
Litecoin update:
• A zero-day bug caused a DoS attack that disrupted major mining pools.
• Non-updated mining nodes allowed an invalid MWEB transaction allowing them to peg out coins to third party DEX’s
• A 13-block reorg reversed those invalid transactions — they will not be included in the main chain
• All valid transactions during that period remain unaffected
• The bug is now fully patched, and the network continues to operate normally
