Golden Finance reports that SlowMist has released a security alert, indicating that the XMR network is suspected of suffering a 51% computing power attack. According to a post on X and the blockchain reorganization chart it provided, XMR recently experienced a chain reorganization of 6 blocks deep conducted by an unknown mining pool.
Currently, no mining pools on miningpoolstats have more than 50% of the computing power, so this could be a covert malicious computing power attack, or it could be an accidental mining competition. The SlowMist security team recommends: when using XMR for transactions, try to wait for more block confirmations to reduce risk.
