Doesn't seem sensationalist to me. As you say, the majority of wallets were vulnerable. The only problem is that the warning is far too late to protect anyone.

I doubt any potential F2Pool miner loss is enough to persuade them to not do SPV mining. Just look at how many blocks they've mined overall and consider how much extra they've earned over time thanks to this 1% boost...
- Adlai 11y agoIt's sensationalist to suggest this vulnerability is anything new. The warning is late, indeed... I'd suggest putting it in the Terms of Service of every SPV wallet, but then even fewer people would read it. Maybe a better approach would be a popup each time the wallet blindly trusts a new merkle root?
