What are the different types of blockchain attacks?

There are several types of blockchain attacks, including 51% attacks, Sybil attacks, and double-spending attacks. Would you like to know more about any specific type?

Can you explain what a 51% attack is?

A 51% attack occurs when a single entity or group controls more than 50% of the network's mining power, allowing them to manipulate transactions.

What about Sybil attacks?

In a Sybil attack, an attacker creates multiple fake identities to gain a disproportionately large influence over the network, potentially disrupting its operations.

How can these attacks be prevented?

Preventing these attacks involves implementing robust consensus mechanisms, increasing network decentralization, and using security measures like proof-of-work or proof-of-stake.
