Ethereum Classic Mining Pool Scammed by Fake Core-Geth Security Update

A fake Core-Geth security update targeting Ethereum Classic (ETC) miners has reportedly deceived some mining pools. Classix disclosed in a report that an unreviewed 'security update' for Core-Geth was distributed without oversight from existing maintainers, with certain mining pools trusting the update. Ublockchain cited the report, stating a social engineering attack occurred. Ethereum Classic community call logs reveal Classix examined potential denial-of-service (DoS) attack vectors targeting Core-Geth and recommended operators to update to the latest release.
