Litecoin Cash was recently found under 51% attack! Cryptographic forms of money have as of late been hit with an attack that used to be more hypothetical than genuine, all in the most recent month. For each situation, attackers have possessed the capacity to accumulate enough processing energy to trade off these little systems, revamp their exchanges and slip off with a huge number of amount in an exertion.

In the cryptoverse, the first 51% attack recorded was on Monacoin followed by Bitcoin Gold, ZenCash, Verge and now, Litecoin cash.

On account of Litecoin Cash [LCC], the engineers affirmed the 51% attack. The number of required system affirmations expanded to no less than 100 after engineers reached trades. Every other coin experiencing a 51% attack has taken comparative measures.

Sunil Khannal, a Twitter user tweeted:

“Litecoin Cash ($LCC) is completely dead after 51% attack. On its way to $0.00 Congratulations!!! team $LCC #LitecoinCash #LCC @LitecoinFork @ScarletLCC After it reach $0.00, they will do unlimited space drop all over the world.”

Gratefully, it appears that Litecoin Cash won’t confront long haul hurt. The group is taking a shot at ensuring against major hashrate spikes. Such an undertaking is regularly less demanding, better done than said. A hard fork of the code seems fast approaching because of system assurance highlights. Designers have not affirmed a hard fork yet, but rather it is a distinct plausibility. The new codebase is prepared to go and will incorporate some key highlights as initially arranged.

This is a major problem in the existing digital forms of currency. The engineers of Litecoin Cash learned an important chapter in the most difficult way possible. All things being equal, dodging a 51% attack should always be the priority of any of the coin developers. For some obscure reason, inadequate countermeasures were set up!

As an investor, now is a good time to take a look at your current holdings and see how each coin holds up in term of volume and required confirmations. If you have a lot of speculative investments in altcoins with low confirmation requirements, consider shifting your position. Not to fear monger, but it feels like there have been a number of majority attacks recently and nothing's technically holding them back other than the aforementioned.
