▌What is a teardrop attack in encryption?
In the cryptocurrency environment, teardrop attacks often target the decentralized nature of blockchain platforms. Even if they don’t target the blockchain’s cryptographic algorithms, disrupting the underlying peer-to-peer network infrastructure that cryptocurrencies rely on could lead to service disruptions, loss of funds, and loss of user trust. An attacker can interfere with the consensus process, transaction validation, or node-to-node communication by focusing on specific nodes or servers. This can lead to network fragmentation, processing delays or even complete outages.
