Miners attack Ethereum, cheat mining rewards
reportA Hebrew University in Israel discovered that there was a cyberattack on the Ethereum Blockchain to cheat more Ether mining rewards than ever before.
The report reveals that miners are using a method to change the timestamp of block creation on the Ethereum Blockchain (timestamp) to avoid difficulty.
One Twitter user posted that Ethereum mining provider F2Pool has been scamming timestamp in order to earn more mining rewards, and F2Pool has been doing this for over two years.
More Cyber Attacks
As you all know, the Ethereum network still uses PoW algorithms and will be deployed to PoS next month after the Merge network upgrades.
However, during this time, reports revealed that a cyber attack called Uncle Maker attacked the Ethereum network, which is a block attack on the Ethereum Blockchain, establishing that the block was censored and corrupted. has been confirmed throughout the network
Uncle Block is a block that has been verified and has been removed from the main network but still able to receive rewards.
This allows miners to set block timestamps, one of which is F2Pool.
F2Pool is one of the leading Ethereum mining service providers with 129 TH/s mining power, earning over 1,500 ETH per day.
The Hebrew University has also proposed a solution to this problem and has already been proposed to the founders of Ethereum.
