Specialists from the blockchain-startup Parity Technologies have discovered a vulnerability in the JSONRPC protocol that threatens the security of the entire Ethereum ecosystem. In particular, MyEtherWallet, MyCrypto and Infura services are under threat of hacking.

At the moment, the problem has already been fixed, the attackers did not have time to use it.

The developers of Parity Technologies recommended that users update the nodes to the new software version in order to reduce the risk of losing access to decentralized applications.

Recall that in January, due to the critical vulnerability in improving the EIP-1283, which allows hackers to steal user funds, the hardfork network was postponed indefinitely
Ethereum Constantinople.
