User funds remained safe, according to the press release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Litecoin network <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/litecoin-undergoes-block-reorganization-due-to-zero-day-vulnerability\/\">experienced<\/a> a 13-block reorganization triggered by an attempted exploit of the MimbleWimble Extension Block (MWEB) protocol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An attacker submitted a block with malformed MWEB data at height 3,095,931. Upgraded nodes rejected the invalid block but encountered a bug that prevented them from continuing normal mining. Meanwhile, nodes running outdated software kept extending the invalid chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mining pools coordinated to overtake the bad chain and restore consensus on the valid one. The Litecoin development team <a class=\"tracking_link\" href=\"https:\/\/litecoin.com\/news\/litecoin-mweb-security-incident-postmortem\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">released<\/a> version 0.21.5.4 on the same day to fix the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Apirone responded<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Apirone team identified the problem and confirmed it was a network-wide event. The service posted updates across multiple channels explaining the issue, potential consequences, and recovery steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>&#8220;We updated nodes to the latest Litecoin Core version, synced with the valid chain, re-verified all incoming and historical transactions, and restored correct balance displays,&#8221; the Apirone team said.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>During the disruption, outgoing transactions were temporarily unavailable as the network could not process them. The network kept logging incoming operations. Full LTC processing resumed within 24 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New notification system<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the incident, Apirone announced an upgrade to its notification infrastructure. Upcoming releases will support alerts via Email, Telegram, and Discord across several event categories: payments, receipts, security, callback errors, and technical notifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The system is designed to keep users informed about transaction statuses, network incidents, and maintenance windows in real time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier, ForkLog <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/crypto-payment-processor-apirone-sponsored-yacht-team-in-spain\/\">reported<\/a> that Apirone sponsored a yacht racing team in Spain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crypto payment processor Apirone resumed Litecoin (LTC) operations within a day of the April 25 network incident.
