On August 1, several figures associated with Ethereum Classic (ETC) took to Twitter to inform the community of issues with the ETC blockchain. Among the first was Ethereum Foundation member Hudson Jameson who stated that: “Exchanges need to pause deposits and withdrawals.”
Due to this possible attack, "reorg' took place at block 10904146.

What do you think is happening? Rumors are that one of the ETC miner is involved.
