TRON: Critical Security Flaw - DDoS Attack Risk Threatens Blockchain

Developed by the Tron Foundation, TRON's native cryptocurrency TRX was released in 2017 and has a market cap of $1.61 billion.

According to a HackerOne bug bounty program advisory recently published and made public, a barrage of requests sent by a single PC could be used to squeeze the power of the blockchain's CPU, overload the memory, and perform a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack.
