A strange activity of 30,000 addresses has been recorded on the Litecoin network

One of the developers of Litecoin reported suspicious activity on the network, which may be associated with a summer dust attack.

Franklin Richards wrote on his blog that recently, in the lightcoin network, one can periodically observe large-scale automated actions behind which unknown persons stand.

According to him, usually on average per dayAbout 40,000 addresses have active transactions, but BitInfoCharts statistics show that every seven days this figure jumps to 70,000 and then drops sharply again. Theseabnormal peaks are noticeable even with a cursory glance.

The developer believes that such a strange behaviorThe network, which lasts from August, is associated with a summer dust attack, when unknown people massively sent microtransactions of 0.00000546 LTC to users' addresses in order to track their further movement and deanonymize the owners.

However, Franklin Richards notes that without access to additional data tools, it is difficult to analyze strange activity and its impact on the network.

Let us recall that earlier the founder of Litecoin, Charlie Lee, explained the reason for the lack of protocol updates for a long time.
