Quite a novel attack originally reported on Reddit.
Basically, it was possible to use a bug in the wallet software to send multiple outputs to the same stealth wallet, potentially allowing an attacker to cheaply burn a large amount of someone else's tokens, on account of the wallet simplying ignoring the issue.
This has now been fixed. Great work from the Monero team.
- xrd 8y agoThe article didn't really specify what a stealth wallet is. Can you elaborate? Are there different types of wallets on the monero network? Is a stealth wallet just a public private key pair derived address that you can somehow use to impersonate another account?
