In the final stage of the attack, taking advantage of the fact that at that time their ETC chain was longer, the attackers broadcast their version of the transaction history to other participants in the network.<\/p>\n

Because of the low level of network protection, OKEx’s customer losses amounted to $5.6 million. The exchange reimbursed the losses from its own funds and is currently considering delisting ETC. A decision will be made following the Ethereum Classic community’s work on improving security, the company said.<\/p>\n
\\n<\/p>\n
Despite the threat of delisting, the coin’s price rose 4% in the last 24 hours. At the time of publication, ETC’s volume-weighted average price (VWAP) was $7.20, roughly in line with the levels at which the asset stood on August 6.<\/p>\n
