Post by: MRM on August 08, 2020, 05:53:15 PM
A near identical double-spend attack on the Ethereum Classic blockchain to one just days ago has seen almost $1.7 million stolen from exchanges.
The Ethereum Classic attacker has made off again with yet more millions.

That fact was revealed today in a follow-up analysis performed by blockchain intelligence firm Bitquery. It shows how more than 465,000 ETC were allocated for a potential double-spend attack against exchanges, with nearly $1.7 million worth successfully converted out of the vulnerable currency and into other digital assets.
