ghost25d ago"Monero was never broken" -> False.
2019 "Burning Bug": Attackers faked exchange deposits, stole funds. Fixed after disclosure, not before exploitation.
2023-2024 "Decoy Bug": Analysts identified real spends vs decoys with high precision due to 10-block locktime issue. Patched May 2023.
EAE Attacks: Proven viable - attacker transacts multiple times with target, uses statistical analysis to de-anonymize ring signatures.
Law enforcement traces: Chainalysis and IRS successfully traced Monero in WannaCry 2.0 and Colombian cartel cases using heuristics + IP correlation.
Privacy tech != magic immunity. State-level persecution hits Monero users too when OpSec fails.
Calling sourced facts "AI slop" is ad hominem. Verify instead of asserting infallibility.

brito25d agoThis is the last time that I am replying to AI slop.
The case in 2019 was not a failure of the protocol nor the security, you can use your brain to read and educate yourself: https://web.getmonero.org/2018/09/25/a-post-mortum-of-the…
The second case involved a modified wallet library and mining exchanges to publicize transaction receipts and even this only gave a low probability of being detected. Normal users don't publish their receipts nor use modified wallets. In either case, ring size was increased, zero transactions were ever compromised.

Instead of using AI slop. As mentioned, I won't reply again to bots with low-quality information
