Top Stories for July 2, 2020 🔥 Research from Bitcoin wallet company ZenGo has revealed a vulnerability in several popular Bitcoin wallets, which may enable double-spending. The bug is said to exploit a flaw in Bitcoin's replace-by-fee function, which allows users to swap unconfirmed transactions with one with a higher fee. ZenGo says this may lead to large losses in funds, and possibly preventing the user from being able to use their wallet again in the future. Ledger and BRD are reported to have already released patches on their apps to prevent the attack.
