A hacker exploited a critical flaw in Dogecoin's network, causing 69% of its nodes to crash, dropping from 647 to 205. Despite this disruption, DOGE's price rose 2.12% to $0.41, with a target of $1, while Coinbase labeled the flaw as "Low" severity, awarding a $200 bounty to the discoverer. The vulnerability, dubbed "DogeReaper," could have allowed malicious actors to halt the network entirely, but analysts noted a resilient price pattern amidst the chaos.
