Monero reported having a bug that may interfere with transaction privacy when users transact funds within 20 minutes of receiving them.
XMR is down 2 percent today, but a bullish trend is expected if prices do not fall below the $156 support level.
Monero (XMR) has informed users about a rather “significant” bug in its decoy selection algorithm. First noted by US software developer Justin Berman, the bug is said to likely impact users’ transactions’ privacy.
As Monero tweeted, the bug occurs when users spend funds transacted to them before 20 minutes have elapsed. There is nevertheless a “good probability” that the new transaction can be identified as a true spend, says the tweet. Monero noted that “this does not reveal anything about addresses or transaction amounts.” They also clarified that currently the bug only persists in the official wallet code. Additionally, “funds are never at risk of being stolen,” they noted.
