Just got word that the devs of a major $BTC mining algorithm have been hacked, and the entire network is at risk of being compromised. It's reported that the hackers gained access to the codebase through a 3rd-party library vulnerability and are trying to drain the network of its funds. Has anyone else heard about this?

"yooo guys, just got word from my friend in the mining community and it's looking super sketchy. Apparently the hack exploited a vulnerability in the new SHA-256 algo and devs are scrambling to release a patch ASAP. Anyone got an ETA on when it's going live?"
