Odaily Planet Daily report: The privacy coin project Pirate Chain has released a mandatory update v6.0.14, requiring all nodes, mining pools, and exchanges to disable old versions and upgrade immediately. On October 14, attackers exploited two validation vulnerabilities to mint approximately 39.82 million fake ARRR tokens in the transparent coinbase pool, temporarily increasing the supply by about 20%. Both vulnerabilities have now been patched. Following consensus among the community, mining pools, exchanges, and dPoW公证 nodes, the blockchain has been rolled back to block 4,176,944 prior to the attack; all forged tokens have been removed, balances have been restored to their pre-attack state, and the maximum supply remains at 200 million. Upon first launch, the new version will automatically reindex the entire chain; a full technical post-mortem report will be published later.
