According to rumors circulating in cryptocurrency forums, Verge just got hacked. Again. Not even a full month after the last attack and, the worse news is, this hacker used essentially the same method as the previous one
History repeats itself
There’s a user at the Bitcointalk forum called “Ocminer“. He was the guy who blew the whistle last month when Verge got hacked. He reported that Verge just got hacked again and explained what happened this time.
The trick is to create a fork in the main Verge chain so the forked chain is all yours and then you can have all the block rewards in that new chain for yourself because you control all the confirmations. It’s called a 51% attack. You can get millions of tokens
Again?pffff
