Definition ∞ An RPC endpoint compromise occurs when an attacker gains unauthorized access or control over a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) endpoint, which serves as an interface for interacting with a blockchain node or other network services. This compromise can allow attackers to intercept, manipulate, or inject malicious transactions. It poses a significant security risk, as it can lead to the theft of funds or disruption of network operations. Securing these endpoints is paramount.
Context ∞ Crypto news frequently reports on security incidents stemming from RPC endpoint compromises, affecting decentralized applications, wallets, and infrastructure providers. These attacks highlight the critical importance of strong authentication, access control, and network security for all blockchain infrastructure. Developers and users must ensure their RPC connections are secure to prevent unauthorized manipulation of their digital asset activities.
