Pirate Chain Blocks rolled back following a minting vulnerability exploit, and a mandatory update released v6.0.14
PANews October 22 According to the announcement, the privacy coin project Pirate Chain released a mandatory update v6.0.14, requiring all nodes, mining pools, and exchanges to discontinue the old version and upgrade immediately.October 14, the attacker exploited validation vulnerabilities to mint approximately coinbase counterfeit tokens in the transparent 39820000 pool, temporarily increasing the supply by approximately ARRR. Both vulnerabilities have been fixed. Following consensus among the community, mining pools, exchanges, and dPoW notarization nodes, the chain was rolled back to block 20%before the attack. All counterfeit tokens have been removed, balances have been restored to their pre-attack state, and the maximum supply remains 4,176,944 tokens. On first launch, the new version will automatically reindex the entire chain. A full technical postmortem report will be released later.

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
The attacker exploited validation vulnerabilities to create a large quantity of ARRR。Pirate Chain The chain was subsequently restored to its pre-attack block state to remove the counterfeit tokens, and relevant participants were required to upgrade their software uniformly. When the new version is first run, the system will reorganize and verify the data of the entire chain.
Why it matters to readers
This incident involves an abnormal token supply, a block rollback, and a network-wide mandatory upgrade. It may affect normal services provided by nodes, mining pools, and exchanges, and also concerns users' trust in on-chain balances and network security.
ARRR Users should check whether the wallet or exchange they use has completed the v6.0.14 upgrade; during the upgrade and reindexing period, related services may be affected, but the original text does not specify the exact scope.
Risks and unknowns
The full technical postmortem report has not yet been released, and the specific mechanisms and remediation details of the validation vulnerabilities cannot be confirmed from the available evidence.
The original text does not state whether each node, mining pool, and exchange has completed the upgrade.
The source text does not specify the specific impact of the rollback and reindexing on trading, deposits, or withdrawals.
The information concerning the vulnerability fix, removal of counterfeit tokens, and balance restoration comes from reported accounts; the available evidence does not provide independent verification.
