Litecoin History Rewritten to Undo Exploit

Litecoin's network has undergone a significant historical rewrite to counteract its first major privacy-layer exploit. Attackers had exploited a three-hour window, during which they attempted to execute double-spend transactions. These illicit activities specifically targeted cross-chain swap protocols, aiming to defraud users. The network's response involved altering its blockchain history to invalidate the malicious transactions, thereby securing the integrity of the affected protocols and preventing financial losses.
