Selective attacks refer to targeted malicious actions against specific components, users, or transactions within a decentralized network, rather than a broad assault on the entire system. These attacks might involve isolating particular nodes, delaying specific transactions, or exploiting vulnerabilities in individual smart contracts. The goal is often to disrupt specific operations or gain an advantage without triggering a full network shutdown.
Context
News reports on blockchain security incidents sometimes detail selective attacks that exploit particular protocol weaknesses or target high-value transactions. Such attacks highlight the ongoing need for robust security audits and continuous monitoring of network activity. The development of advanced threat detection and response mechanisms is paramount for protecting digital assets from these precise forms of exploitation.
