TechFlow News — According to the Aeternity (AE) community, AE suffered a 51% double-spending attack on December 7, resulting in a loss of over 39 million AE tokens. The official AE Twitter account responded confirming awareness of the incident and stated they are assessing the extent and impact of the damage. It is reported that primarily some major exchanges and mining pools were affected.
In response, a spokesperson from Huobi Global stated that Huobi's security team maintains the industry's strictest risk control system, defending against double-spending attacks through four key measures: evaluating deposit confirmation counts, monitoring delayed large deposits, immediately rolling back to the correct state and disabling wallets upon detecting chain rollbacks, and tracking abnormal hash rate fluctuations. As a result, Huobi successfully defended against this AE double-spending attack and incurred no financial losses.
