💣 Monero is Under Attack — Not by Code, but by Incentives
Monero isn’t being hacked — it’s being bought.
A mining pool called Qubic, run by IOTA cofounder Sergey Ivancheglo, is quietly accumulating hashrate by overpaying miners in its own token, QUBIC, while keeping the real XMR.
The goal? Reach 51% hashrate and control the network.
➡️How the attack works:
🟢Miners get paid in QUBIC, not XMR
🟢Qubic hoards XMR and burns QUBIC to pump its price
🟢More miners join as rewards rise
🟢Qubic gains control without writing a single line of malicious code
➡️If Qubic crosses 51%, they can:
🟢 Censor or delay transactions
🟢 Reverse blocks
🟢 Force protocol changes
🟢 Undermine Monero’s privacy guarantees
And it only costs ~$10K/day — cheaper than banner ads.
➡️Why Monero is vulnerable:
🟢 Mobile CPU miners (RandomX)
🟢 Fixed low block rewards (0.6 XMR)
🟢 Zero-fee network
🟢 Good usage, but poor economic defense
➡️What the community is doing:
🟢 Promoting P2Pool
🟢 Advising 13 confirmations
🟢 Considering a hard fork
🟢 Issuing public warnings
This is a new kind of attack — economic, not technical.
If Monero can be bought, it can be broken.
Privacy can’t survive without strong incentives.

🧐An "economic attack" puts the #Monero ($XMR ) privacy cryptocurrency network in check.
The mining group Qubic has reached 45% of the network's power by offering better rewards to miners, paying in their own tokens $QUBIC instead of XMR. This could lead them to a 51% attack, allowing them to control transactions and destabilize the network. Although the price of XMR has remained stable, the situation reveals a fundamental weakness: the security of the network depends on the rewards system remaining attractive to miners.
This event raises serious doubts about the viability of privacy cryptocurrencies if their infrastructure is not strengthened.

🚨Monero Under ATTACK: The END of PRIVACY??
XMR is currently facing what some are calling an "economic attack" from Qubic, a mining pool and crypto network led by Iota co founder Sergey Ivancheglo. Qubic openly admitted to incentivizing Monero CPU mining through their own network, with the mined XMR then used to fuel their own ecosystem. Ivancheglo even stated he planned to reject blocks from other pools once Qubic controlled enough hashrate, effectively making Qubic the only profitable place to mine XMR!
This move quickly sparked a huge backlash from the Monero community, and it's working! Qubic has already tumbled from the top spot in Monero mining pool rankings down to seventh, showing the power of a united community. While Ivancheglo claims he's just "testing" for countermeasures to such attacks, the community isn't buying it. Many see this as a blatant attempt at a 51% attack, where a single entity gains control of the majority of the network's computing power. With 51% control, an attacker could orphan blocks, reject transactions, and even force protocol changes.
This situation is a stark reminder: centralization, even if supposedly "benevolent," carries significant risk. The Monero community's swift response shows the true strength of decentralization. This is a critical moment for privacy coins, highlighting the ongoing battle for true autonomy in the crypto space.
IMPORTANT: If you hold any XMR, be SUPER CAREFUL! If Qubic takes control and REALLY starts messing with monero, it'll go to ZERO, so stay safe! #XMR #Monero #PrivacyCoins #PrivacyCoin #Privacy

🧨 Qubic initiates a 51% attack on Monero: what's happening?
The blockchain project Qubic announced its intention to organize a 51% attack on Monero (XMR) to 'shed light' on the network's vulnerabilities.
They have already launched a pool and are attracting miners with the aim of gaining control over the majority of the network's hash rate.
• Qubic calls the action an 'ethical experiment' and promised not to introduce malicious transactions.
• The Monero community took the challenge seriously, and protective measures are being discussed.
—
It is interesting to follow such developments, especially considering that Monero is one of the largest anonymous projects.

💥#Monero challenges the attacks: $XMR unstoppable against attempts at centralization
Despite an attempt by Qubic, a pool linked to Iota co-founder Sergey Ivancheglo, to centralize its network, Monero maintains outstanding performance. Ivancheglo sought to control the mining of XMR to dictate decisions, but the Monero community responded quickly, decentralizing the hash power and relegating Qubic to seventh place among the pools.
This attack has not slowed down XMR, which has seen over 90% growth in the last year and remains in the green even in the last 24 hours. Although the threat persists, with Qubic now hiding its hash power, the strong demand for Monero, driven by interest in privacy coins, demonstrates the resilience of this cryptocurrency and the strength of its community.

Monero (XMR) – The Ghost That Never Leaves the Room
They call it boring.
I call it reliable.
While the rest of the market dances between hype and hysteria—
XMR sits in the shadows.
Untraceable. Unshaken. Unbothered.
It doesn’t beg for headlines.
It doesn’t chase ATHs.
It simply… survives.
Quiet. Efficient. Silent.
In a market obsessed with exposure,
Monero thrives in privacy.
That’s not weakness.
That’s insulation.
That’s resilience.
Volatility?
It laughs in its face.
Because when everything else burns,
The ghost coin doesn’t flinch—
It watches.
I am the danger.

Hackers have infected over 3500 websites with a hidden Monero miner
Hackers have become active again: according to researchers from c/side, over 3500 websites around the world are infected with scripts for hidden mining of the cryptocurrency Monero. This campaign exploits vulnerabilities from old attacks aimed at unpatched servers and e-commerce platforms to install malicious software, including XMRig. The miner runs stealthily, using the computing power of website visitors, making it difficult to detect.

Monero Price ($XMR ) Faces Strong Correction Risk
In Tuesday's session, Monero (XMR) signaled weakness as it broke through the upward trend line and fluctuated around the $320 level. Data from Coinglass shows that the long/short ratio has fallen to 0.82 – the lowest level in over a month, reflecting widespread pessimism among traders.
Technically, XMR has broken and closed below the upward trend line since mid-June, while failing to successfully recover above the 50-day EMA line. The price is currently being rejected at this resistance area, continuing to fluctuate near $321.21.
The RSI indicator is at 46 and is trending downwards, indicating that selling pressure is dominant. The MACD has also shown a bearish crossover, reinforcing the likelihood of a continued downtrend. If XMR continues to weaken, the price may retreat to the support zone of $301.71 (the low on July 1) and further down to $288.83 (the low on June 22).
However, if XMR can close above $332.43 – the peak from Tuesday – the bearish scenario will be invalidated, allowing the price to recover to the $357.66 area.

🚨 Dark Web Drug Empire Busted! Europol & US DOJ Dismantle $267M Marketplace Using Monero
💣 Global Sting Takes Down 'Archetyp Market'—World’s Largest Darknet Drug Site Crumbles
In a major international crackdown, law enforcement agencies from the U.S., Germany, Spain, Netherlands, Sweden, and Romania joined forces to shut down the Archetyp Market, one of the largest and most dangerous drug marketplaces on the dark web. The platform, which used Monero ($XMR ) for anonymous payments, made over €250 million ($267M) by trafficking drugs like fentanyl, cocaine, and heroin. A 30-year-old German man suspected of running the site was arrested in Barcelona, and millions in cash, phones, and computers were seized 💻📱💰.
The Archetyp Market had more than 612,000 customers, 3,200 vendors, and 17,000 drug listings. Police raids spanned Germany, Sweden, and Romania, with a total of seven arrests and the market’s servers disabled in the Netherlands—effectively shutting the entire operation down. The evidence gathered is expected to lead to even more arrests and uncover deeper layers of this vast digital drug empire 🕵️♂️🚔.
This takedown sends a clear message: no matter how hidden or encrypted, illegal operations on the darknet are not beyond the reach of global law enforcement. With privacy coins like Monero under increasing scrutiny and darknet servers getting exposed, the digital underworld is quickly losing its hiding spots. Authorities hailed this operation as a huge win in the global fight against cybercrime, digital drug trafficking, and money laundering 🌐🔒⚖️.

Privacy Coins
The Battle between Anonymity and Transparency ($XMR Monero vs. $ZEC ZCash)
Privacy in the Blockchain Era
Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin promised anonymity, but their public ledger reveals transaction patterns, balances, and addresses. This limited pseudonymity drove the emergence of privacy coins, designed to obscure sensitive data through advanced cryptography. Among them, Monero (XMR) and Zcash (ZEC) lead the market, with opposing technical and philosophical approaches.
