Significant Dogecoin Vulnerability Exploited on December 12

12 月 12 日狗狗币重大漏洞被利用

On December 12, a critical vulnerability in the Dogecoin network was exploited, causing 69% of its active nodes to crash. This breach has raised concerns about the cryptocurrency's infrastructure security and resilience against potential future attacks.

12 月 12 日，狗狗币网络中的一个严重漏洞被利用，导致其 69% 的活动节点崩溃。这一漏洞引发了人们对加密货币基础设施安全性和抵御未来潜在攻击的能力的担忧。

Andreas Kohl, co-founder of Bitcoin sidechain Sequentia, revealed his responsibility for the hack via his X account. Kohl claimed he executed the exploit from "an old ThinkPad in rural El Salvador."

比特币侧链 Sequentia 联合创始人 Andreas Kohl 通过他的 X 账户透露了他对此次黑客攻击的责任。 Kohl 声称他是在“萨尔瓦多乡村的一台旧 ThinkPad”上执行了该漏洞。

Vulnerability and Attack Details

漏洞和攻击详细信息

The "DogeReaper" vulnerability, identified by researcher Tobias Ruck, was exploited by Kohl. An X account called "Department Of DOGE Efficiency" had first alerted the public about this issue on December 4.

由研究员 Tobias Ruck 发现的“DogeReaper”漏洞已被 Kohl 利用。一个名为“Department Of DOGE Efficiency”的 X 账户于 12 月 4 日首次向公众通报了这一问题。

The vulnerability enabled attackers to remotely crash Dogecoin nodes by targeting their addresses and triggering segmentation faults. In computing, segmentation faults occur when a program accesses unauthorized memory, causing the operating system to halt the program and result in a crash.

该漏洞使攻击者能够通过瞄准狗狗币节点的地址并触发分段错误来远程破坏狗狗币节点。在计算中，当程序访问未经授权的内存时，会发生分段错误，导致操作系统停止程序并导致崩溃。

Network Impact and Concerns

网络影响和担忧

The "Department Of DOGE Efficiency" account warned of the vulnerability's potential to halt the entire Dogecoin network, disrupting transactions and block generation for days. While Kohl's exploit did not completely halt the blockchain, the significant reduction in active nodes raises concerns about the network's decentralization and robustness. Efforts are underway to patch the issue and restore node functionality.

“DOGE Efficiency 部门”账户警告称，该漏洞有可能导致整个狗狗币网络停止运行，从而导致交易和区块生成中断数天。虽然科尔的漏洞并没有完全阻止区块链，但活跃节点的显着减少引起了人们对网络去中心化和稳健性的担忧。正在努力修复问题并恢复节点功能。

Dogecoin Price Performance

狗狗币价格表现

The security breach occurred during market volatility for DOGE. After a 208% surge in early November, the cryptocurrency has traded within a narrow range of $0.35 to $0.48 in the past month. At the time of writing, DOGE is trading at $0.41.

安全漏洞发生在 DOGE 市场波动期间。在 11 月初飙升 208% 后，该加密货币在过去一个月的交易价格一直在 0.35 美元至 0.48 美元的窄幅区间内波动。截至撰写本文时，DOGE 的交易价格为 0.41 美元。

Some analysts have observed a potential for Dogecoin to rebound, citing a recent reset in its relative strength index (RSI). Santiment, a data analytics platform, also pointed to bullish signals, including a decrease in the "mean dollar invested age" of circulating coins. This trend suggests that previously dormant coins are re-entering circulation, indicating growing investor interest in Dogecoin despite the recent downturn.

一些分析师观察到狗狗币有反弹的潜力，理由是其相对强弱指数（RSI）最近重置。数据分析平台 Santiment 也指出了看涨信号，包括流通代币的“平均美元投资年龄”下降。这一趋势表明，以前休眠的代币正在重新进入流通，表明尽管最近经济低迷，投资者对狗狗币的兴趣仍在增长。
