A closer look at “Litecoin Reorganization: Foundation Claims Zero-Day, GitHub History Suggests Otherwise | N”, exactly as the source publishes it.

A recent 13-block reorganization on the Litecoin network has sparked controversy after the Litecoin Foundation initially described it as a zero-day exploit. However, analysis of the litecoin-project GitHub repository reveals that the vulnerability exploited was privately patched by developers between March 19 and March 26, over four weeks before the attack.
This finding contradicts the 'zero-day' narrative and raises questions about the Foundation's transparency and proactive security measures. While minor reorgs are normal, a 13-block event is significant, impacting transaction finality. The revelation that the vulnerability was known and patched prior to the exploit suggests a potential mischaracterization of the event, possibly to downplay concerns about the network's security or the effectiveness of its development processes.
