- Zcash (ZEC) blockchain target of apparent spam attack.
- All nodes in the Zcash network must maintain a list of every single token spent forever. This obviously requires a lot of memory required to be stored by each node. With this spam attack from a single actor that began in July, the amount of storage has tripled to 117GB. If the attack continues, it will eventually make running a ZEC node extraordinarily difficult for the average person given the memory requirements.
- BNB Chain suffers bridge hack
- The hacker exploited a security bug, allowing the attacker to withdraw previously locked funds. ~$500M worth of BNB was accessed by the hacker but, ultimately, they were only able to move ~$100 million worth off BNB Smart Chain before a chain halt stopped the attack.
