: Most modern exchanges and Bitcoin services mitigate this by requiring three to six confirmations before funds are cleared, making the cost of maintaining the fake chain prohibitively expensive for an attacker. Key Characteristics : This attack primarily targets services that accept

: Once the attacker finds a block, they quickly send a second transaction—sending the same coins from Address A to the exchange's Address C—directly to the exchange's node. : Most modern exchanges and Bitcoin services mitigate

: It relies on the deliberate creation of a fork where the exchange is kept on the "losing" side of the chain for just enough time to process a withdrawal.
