- ZenCash Target of 51% Attack; Loses More than $500k in Double Spend Transactions. ZenCash is a Proof of Work cryptocurrency based on the Equihash mining algorithm. Equihash is used by several other popular currencies, most notably ZCash, meaning that there is a very large pool of total Equihash hash rate in the world that can be used on a variety of networks. ZEN is a fork of ZClassic that launched in late May 2017, using the same codebase as ZCash.
Yesterday, the ZenCash network experienced a 51% attack, where one person or party controls 51% of the hash rate. The hash rate influx allowed the attacker to reorganize the blockchain several times, with the largest rollback reversing 38 blocks. The attacker also was able to double spend two massive transactions – 13,000 and 6,600 ZEN – worth more than $550,000 at current prices, according to a statement made by the development team. Mining pool operators notified the ZenCash team of a potential attack and exchanges were quickly contacted and warned to increase confirmation times.
