Russian Malware Onslaught Crushes Internet Computer’s ICP Token—Here’s Why It Matters
Another day, another crypto casualty. This time, it's ICP taking the hit as geopolitical cyber warfare spills into decentralized networks.
The attack vector: Sophisticated Russian-origin malware infiltrates node providers, triggering sell-offs among skittish investors. The token bled out 12% in 24 hours—because nothing screams 'store of value' like double-digit swings before breakfast.
Blockchain's Achilles' heel: The incident exposes Web3's dirty secret—decentralized networks still rely on centralized infrastructure. Node operators got pwned, proving yet again that crypto's 'trustless' mantra vanishes faster than a memecoin rally when actual trust gets violated.
Silver lining playbook: ICP's team claims the chain itself remains uncompromised. Traders are treating this as a buying opportunity—because what's crypto without pathological optimism and the occasional Russian cyberthreat to keep things spicy?
