Developer exposed potential security issue on the Lightning Network

No verified real-world attacks have been linked to “replacement cycling attacks' on Lightning network in the past 10 months.

A major vulnerability was identified in the Bitcoin Lightning Network, a second-layer solution aimed at accelerating transaction speeds on the Bitcoin blockchain.

The vulnerability, referred to as “replacement cycling attacks,” could potentially jeopardize the security of funds flowing through the Lightning Network. Although concerning, the flaw has not yet led to any verified real-world attacks. Riard stated that there’s no evidence of such activities over the past 10 months based on observational data. “While neither replacement cycling attacks have been observed or reported in the wild since the last ~10 months or experimented in real-world conditions on bitcoin mainnet,” the report highlighted.
