    In 2023, the security problems on Bitcoin were mainly attacks on wallets and exchanges. Hackers did crazy things with phishing, malware, and schemes to get people's private keys. In addition, there were some bugs in the code that let vulnerabilities slip through, but don't worry, that was quickly fixed with updates.

    In 2024, that changed. We saw vulnerabilities that took advantage of the fact that the Bitcoin network was somewhat anonymous. "Dusting" attacks exploded, where guys sent small amounts of BTC to try to track users. Mining pools were hot too, with attempts to pool hashing power to control part of the network and tamper with transactions. As a result, cybersecurity pros rolled up their sleeves to protect users and keep the network decentralized.

     For me, these 2024 flaws show that securing Bitcoin is really not easy. Threats change all the time, it forces the community to always be on its guard. But it also proves that Bitcoin is holding strong, because despite all that, the network is still there. For those who want to invest, it is super important to follow these developments and use secure wallets, especially offline, to avoid hassles.

    What's your point exactly ? And also, why do you have your address on this post? Firstly from the very first parts of you post is vaguely seemed like your were talking about vulnerabilities on the bitcoin blockchain, infact your title seemed to be saying the same thing too at first. Anyways the fact is hacking , phishing as well as many other methods of stealing or scamming people of funds will constantly improve just like security improves too. The nicest move is to be very careful and constantly remain updated too, and if possible keep your keys, KYC details, and coins away from the internet as much as you can.

    For the aspect of dust attacks I think to prevent a that one thing you can possibly do is not make your addresses public and also make use of a standard HD wallet to make your transactions more private.

    I understand you, but we must not forget that even if security improves, Bitcoin vulnerabilities are still a big concern. My post talks about the evolution of threats between 2023 and 2024, with things like dusting attacks and mining pool manipulations that show that hackers are still on the case. Keeping your keys and information offline is good, but it's not enough to avoid the new vulnerabilities that are coming. The community must remain vigilant and understand these vulnerabilities to better defend itself, because Bitcoin security depends on all of us.

    Foundry and AntPool didn't wait until 2024 to own +- 50% of the network hashrate. Same with dusting attacks, there's nothing really new here.

    In my opinion, the biggest current threats are the excesses of legal regulations, and the new KYC shotgun trend, which exploits the anti-Bitcoin idea that there's a difference between "clean" and "dirty" Bitcoin.

    What happened with wallets and exchanges have nothing to do with Bitcoin security. Because a wallet can be good or bad, open source or close source, custodial or self custodial, an exchange can be centralized or decentralized, but all of them has nothing to do with Bitcoin protocol. If they have security weakness and holes for hackers to compromise their wallets or exchanges, it's their issue, not Bitcoin protocol.

    KYC and centralization is the biggest threat to Cryptocurrency, not these spoof attacks. I know end users are affected by this, but what percentage? And if you look at those who have to do KYC just to withdraw their funds, that percentage is way above. So if you want to solve something, solve it for the majority of the users. And I do not think anything changed between 2023-2024 except people being more aware of "Not your keys, not your coins".

    Security issues are not just peculiar to the Bitcoin system. Other financial systems face similar challenges and they will always be there because hackers and others will always look for avenues to exploit the vulnerability of any process. The Bitcoin system is secured to a large extent but the security of your coins depends more on you. There is always a need to be abreast with new developments in the sector and ensure you apply the necessary security measures to avoid becoming a victim.

    What vulnerabilities are you talking about?
    Vulnerabilities on wallets and shit is not same as one in the Blockchain.
    The above vulnerabilities are quite common and isn't something that explicitly bitcoin fault.
    But the user or the wallets.
    Bitcoin could get vulnerable if mining becomes centralized
    Or the 51% attack.

    I like the fact that you are trying to point out all possible vulnerabilities that concerns everything that has to do with Bitcoin ranging from wallet hacking, 51% attack and others. But towards the conclusion of your post, you sounded as if 51% attack relates well with wallet hack. IMO, it doesn't work that way. Okay I agree, keeping your wallet secure or keys offline is very crucial, but, of what use will the wallet become when a 51% attack eventually happens (which won't)?. So, I think you should've probably address the whole issues line by line for easy grasping.

    New investors in Bitcoin have to be aware of the challenges that Bitcoin security has faced before so that they do not fall victim in case of any repetition of such security challenges. Getting aware of the security history of bitcoin is equipping yourself with enough information to avoid any security pitfall that may present itself. If you happen to be an investor that quickly learns from the experience of others, then the information about previous security challenges that Bitcoin has faced would be very useful to you because it means that learning from those experiences will ensure that you never have to face those sorts of experiences again, keeping you on the positive side of cryptocurrency investment to benefit from it.

    You have mixed security problems with privacy and scalability problems, and bitcoin security at the blockchain level is completely different from the level of individuals and wallets, so in short, bitcoin has not suffered from clear security problems since its inception in 2009 and since 2013 the network has been running 24/7 without the need for a hardfork. If you use good wallets, open source, true airgapped system then it can be said that your coins are safe.

    If you want more information, check out sites like http://www.coindesk.com, http://decrypt.co, and http://cointelegraph.com.
    coindesk decrypt.co cointelegraph are bad sites to get tech updates, they are news services with duplicate or unverified news.

    In 2024, that changed. We saw vulnerabilities that took advantage of the fact that the Bitcoin network was somewhat anonymous. "Dusting" attacks exploded, where guys sent small amounts of BTC to try to track users. Mining pools were hot too, with attempts to pool hashing power to control part of the network and tamper with transactions. As a result, cybersecurity pros rolled up their sleeves to protect users and keep the network decentralized.
    I do not think there was too strong of an attack to threaten bitcoin’s decentralization or its blockchain in general. Most of the hacks and attacks I have seen are really directed towards individuals that hold bitcoin and not bitcoin blockchain in itself.

    It’s probably even a lot easier to attack and hack government controlled assets rather than launch an attack on bitcoin.

    If you get hacked or scammed, that is totally on you and not the bitcoin network. We have been established that the network is secure and its decentralized nature helps with that. As an individual, we are responsible for what we hold and how we make sure we don’t lose them.

    You have mixed security problems with privacy and scalability problems, and bitcoin security at the blockchain level is completely different from the level of individuals and wallets
    Security, scalability and decentralization are three components of The Blockchain Trilemma. They interact with each other and affect each other, so I disagree if you say security has no relation with Scalability or decentralization of a blockchain.

    Privacy and other issues like wallet security are different things, and they don't belong to Blockchain Trilemma components. It can be from a blockchain design, private or public ledger, a wallet software design and user practice too.

    In 2023, the security problems on Bitcoin were mainly attacks on wallets and exchanges.
    That has nothing to do with Bitcoin.
    For example when a pickpocket in the NYC subway steals your wallet from your backpocket, you don't claim it is a security problem with the dollar!
    It's the same here, if you used a centralized service like exchanges, a poorly developed software by incompetent developers like certain wallets, etc. the "security problem" is with those tools not with Bitcoin.

    Quote
    In addition, there were some bugs in the code that let vulnerabilities slip through, but don't worry, that was quickly fixed with updates.
    What bugs and in which "code"?

    Quote
    "Dusting" attacks exploded,
    That is not a "security problem". That is a spam attack and it is not specific to 2024 or any specific year for that matter. They could happen from day one and there is no solution to that because you can't prevent people from sending coins to any destination without removing the censorship resistance principle of Bitcoin.

    Quote
    Mining pools were hot too, with attempts to pool hashing power to control part of the network and tamper with transactions.
    When did they do this?!

    My post talks about the evolution of threats between 2023 and 2024, with things like dusting attacks and mining pool manipulations that show that hackers are still on the case. Keeping your keys and information offline is good, but it's not enough to avoid the new vulnerabilities that are coming. The community must remain vigilant and understand these vulnerabilities to better defend itself, because Bitcoin security depends on all of us.

    Nothing has evolved. The threats between 2023 and 2024 are the same threats that were already around a decade or so ago. Dust attacks and the threat of a 51% attack didn't just come out in 2024. They've been around for a long time.

    When I first encountered Bitcoin almost a decade ago, dust attacks were already a thing. As a matter of fact, I guess it's much more aggressive back then. Today, I'm not getting free Sats anymore. Perhaps they've done their cost-benefit analysis already and realized that it's better to keep those precious Sats rather than give them away. Stack Sats is the motto these days.

    51% attack is not a serious threat in 2024. It's more serious 10 years ago. Mining pool Ghash has actually reached 51% of the processing power back in 2014. No attack was made. And the 51% control only lasted for a few hours. Today, the largest mining pool, AntPool, is only in control of 20% of the network's hashrate. An attack is far from happening, and it's getting more expensive by the day. And, as always, it hasn't been worth it.

    I guess the biggest threat in 2024 is on the individual level. It's the lack of awareness, indifference or the lack of initiative to boost one's security even if it's doable.

    The only thing that relates to the bitcoin network is this discussion of the dox attack on the network were spammers send spam transactions just to congest the network, for whatever reason best known to them, and aside from that, the other point of hacking, spamming of wallet are all elementary security issues that is related to individual bitcoin users.

    Trying not to mix up things, will help alot in making this discussion more understandable and clear, because there is not relationship between the two point you brought out here and for sure we have alot of development to expect in the bitcoin network that will put aside all the vonurability in the network, and that haven't happen in 2024 so nothing really is different between 2023-2024 unless something new come up along the way.

    Threats change all the time, it forces the community to always be on its guard. But it also proves that Bitcoin is holding strong, because despite all that, the network is still there.
    Bitcoin is such attractive giving hackers sleepless nights just to invade into users Privacies to steal their funds.
    While Bitcoin core teams are tirelessly updating the security softwares in dismantling the malicious strategies of the hackers,  miners are also revalidating users transactions in confirming its Proof of Work  in the Bitcoin blockchain which also enables the distabilization dooming hackers to fail in cracking the decentralized security walls of the Blockchain.

    So, intensively, threats would keep hitting up on the Bitcoin security terrains just to extract the treasures out of it but on revalidations and security reviews, it would keep being impossible for the to succeed so, the conciousness of users having their decentralized blockchains safe depends on individual users intercourse.

    Bitcoin is such attractive giving hackers sleepless nights just to invade into users Privacies to steal their funds.
    You are mixing security and privacy. People wallets were hacked because they did not secure their wallets, devices properly and practically they were too careless so that they gave hackers opportunities to compromise their devices and wallets.

    Your Privacy can be leaked, but your bitcoin will not be found or stolen.

    You tried to mix many words but it does not help your post quality and coherence. Incorrect information is in your post too. Miners confirm transactions, Bitcoin nodes relay and validate new transactions and new blocks. Miners do not validate transactions, it's incorrect information.

    In 2023, the security problems on Bitcoin were mainly attacks on wallets and exchanges. Hackers did crazy things with phishing, malware, and schemes to get people's private keys. In addition, there were some bugs in the code that let vulnerabilities slip through, but don't worry, that was quickly fixed with updates.

    In 2024, that changed. We saw vulnerabilities that took advantage of the fact that the Bitcoin network was somewhat anonymous. "Dusting" attacks exploded, where guys sent small amounts of BTC to try to track users. Mining pools were hot too, with attempts to pool hashing power to control part of the network and tamper with transactions. As a result, cybersecurity pros rolled up their sleeves to protect users and keep the network decentralized.

     For me, these 2024 flaws show that securing Bitcoin is really not easy. Threats change all the time, it forces the community to always be on its guard. But it also proves that Bitcoin is holding strong, because despite all that, the network is still there. For those who want to invest, it is super important to follow these developments and use secure wallets, especially offline, to avoid hassles.

    If you want more information, check out sites like http://www.coindesk.com, http://decrypt.co, and http://cointelegraph.com.

    Not much has change except the fact the criminals are ramping up their activity because we are in the bull run. We almost have seen all kind of attacks from them, but perhaps they are becoming more sophisticated specially that we are in the period of AI, deep fakes are more prevalent that ever.

    Of course, as we are what we call Be Your Own Bank, the first thing that we should learn is how to protect our accounts from this scammers and cyber threats. Maybe it's good if we will educate ourselves with what is the latest threat and then have our security practices updated as well.

    I think that Bitcoin is resilient and stable enough not to worry about bugs, and many risks of losing BTC can be avoided by following simple steps. If the Bitcoin community were small, the market capitalization was low, and the dev team was unreliable, that would be a different conversation, but none of that is the case. As for losing funds, exchanges and any other centralized platforms always carry the risk of a hack or exit scam, so one should take it into account when choosing how and where to store BTC. Non-custodial wallets are much safer in this sense, but it is important to ensure you don't lose your seed phrase and that nobody else gets access to it.
