A now-notorious Bitcoin bug is being exploited on weak altcoins.
Two weeks ago, BeInCrypto reported on a potential brutal Bitcoin bug which could have brought the network down to its knees. The problem has largely been resolved on the market leader and other cryptocurrencies using its technology, but many lesser-known coins are still vulnerable to attack.
One altcoin which has already been exploited by the security flaw is Pigeoncoin (PGN).
The 1466th-ranked cryptocurrency witnessed highly-irregular activity over the last week, as evidenced by a chart of its market capitalization — which portrays dramatic spikes.

Never Heard of Pigeoncoin?
Pigeoncoin purports to be a social application which provides digital freedom to everyone by making use of the X16S (shuffle) algorithm to end data collection in social media.
