Hacker Exposes $DOGE Flaw, Puts the Network at Risk

Hacker Exploits Vulnerability, Leaving 69% of Dogecoin Network Nodes Crashed

A vulnerability in the Dogecoin network was recently exploited by a hacker, resulting in the failure of 69% of its nodes. These nodes are crucial for verifying transactions and maintaining network stability. The sudden loss of so many nodes was akin to disabling the support structure of a table.

Close Call for Dogecoin

The flaw, likely due to outdated software running on numerous nodes, left the network vulnerable to attack. Had the hacker capitalized further, the entire Dogecoin network could have collapsed. Such an event would have hindered users' ability to transact, putting their funds at risk.

Community Response

The Dogecoin community and developers are actively working to resolve the issue. This incident serves as a reminder that even lighthearted cryptocurrencies like Dogecoin require robust security measures to ensure protection.

Additional Crypto-Related Incidents

In a separate incident, Byte Federal, a major Bitcoin ATM operator in the U.S., has reportedly suffered a data breach affecting 58,000 users. The breach has exposed sensitive information such as names, addresses, government-issued IDs, and more.
