Interlink Labs Blocks Major 51% Attack with $ITLG Security

Vyx Interlink announced that there was a massive attack of 51 percent against Interlink system. The team ensured that the attack occurred twelve hours prior to the announcement. The attacker attempted to gain control of the system by manipulation of majority-hashes. Early inspections indicated that the outfit was based in Vietnam. The team kept a track of node activity during the incident. The flow of data was consistent throughout the event. The operational validators remained in force. The attack was described as one of the biggest in the history of the team. The news was fast spreading within the community of the project. Stability of the system spared many users the worry.

Defense Layer is Enforced by the Proof-of-Humanity Model

The interlock Labs described how its Proof-of-Humanity model defended the system. The design authenticates human beings using biometrics and zero-knowledge means. The model does not allow bots access to the network. Chain reorganization attempts were also denied by the system. The network still authenticated transactions by using trusted human nodes. The architecture minimized the attack surface. The two-tiered frame was also contributing greatly. External liquidity in the system is through use of $ITL. The system has verified-human reward cycles as $ITLG. The internal reward token was also an increasing value; hence, it was attacked by the attackers. The shielding material stood its ground. The incident emphasized the difference between the design and the conventional blockchains. The score was perceived by the community members as an actual test of the model.

No Data Lost Reported when Interlink is gearing towards Version 5.0

Interlink Labs affirmed that it did not lose any user data. According to the team, there were no downtimes. The chain kept on processing blocks immediately. The uptime of the system was also at one hundred percent throughout the threat window. They did not establish any traces of corruption. The staff commended the early-warning security module. This announcement corresponded with a future upgrade 5.0. The release of v5.0 is targeted to add features of reward-generation. It also tries to increase the income prospects of verified users. Interlink ecosystem now uses the attack as evidence of the increased demand of $ITLG. The group opined that valuable tokens are appealing to sophisticated attackers. The team advised users to lock their accounts prior to the next update. There was also a referral link in the announcement. Social responses that were concerned with safety, development, and reputation. The incident boosted trust in the roadmap of Interlink.

Attack Raises the Vulnerability Question

Analysts indicated that the incident was representative of macro blockchain risks. They alleged inspired groups keep on testing new networks. According to them, 51per cent of attacks are still a threat to smaller chains. They believed that the human-verification design can have an effect on the security trends of blockchain in the future. They added also that the case gives momentum to identity-linked models. The community was ready to receive additional updates as Interlink finishes with its audit cycle. A large number of users kept an eye on the network to get patches. The discussion concerning the decentralized identity had a new impulse. The following announcements of the project are predicted to influence the discussion even more.
