A series of high risk vulnerabilities found in the EOS blockchain platform today. Some of these vulnerabilities can remotely execute arbitrary code on the EOS node, meaning that remote attacks can directly control and take over all nodes running on EOS.

Such vulnerabilities in digital currencies can have greater impacts.

Due to its decentralized nature a security breech in one node can rapid spread across all others on the network and cause thousands of them to be attacked.

During the attack the hacker can publish and distribute a smart contract containing malicious code targeting the vulnerability

The attacker can have the full control over the nodal system and can steal your private keys, data, and control all cryptocurrency transactions.

Even the attacker can turn a node on the EOS network into a member of a botnet, start a cyber-attack, or become a free “miner” and mine some other cryptocurrencies.
