Halborn Uncovers Vulnerabilities in Popular Blockchains
posted 14 Mar 2023
Researchers from a Web3 security company have recently discovered a number of serious flaws in the Dogecoin, Litecoin, and Zcash blockchains.
The most critical vulnerability affects P2P communications, allowing attackers to craft malicious consensus messages to key nodes and cause them to shut down.
What's more concerning is that there is a possibility that similar bugs may exist in around two hundred other networks.
If cybercriminals manage to exploit these flaws before Halborn receives payment for fixing it, it could put over $25 billion worth of digital assets at risk.
