Bitcoin Core Discloses Tor Traffic Vulnerability Affecting Thousands of Nodes
Bitcoin Core has publicly disclosed a security flaw (CVE-2025-62860) in which incoming Tor traffic bundled with non-default -whitelist configurations inherited "trusted" local peer status across thousands of reachable nodes—weakening DoS and privacy protections.
The issue was disclosed alongside two other bugs—including a high-severity block-template stall vulnerability (CVE-2025-62861)—following the end of support for the 29.x series. While all three flaws were already patched in Bitcoin Core 30.0 (and backported to 29.2 and 28.3) with zero active exploits reported, around 9% of reachable nodes are still running outdated versions and should upgrade immediately.
Here is the short tactical trade plan for the top three coins on watch:
$BTC
Entry: Buy dips at $66,000–$66,700 demand or breakout above $68,500.
Targets: $71,000–$73,500 | Stop-Loss: $64,500
$ZEC
Entry: Accumulate near $850–$900 demand zone or reclaim above $960.
Targets: $1,050–$1,150 | Stop-Loss: $790
$ETH
Entry: Buy $1,850–$1,900 support bounce or 4H close above $1,960.
Targets: $2,080–$2,180 | Stop-Loss: $1,780
