Was Krypton Ethereum Hack Just a 'Dry Run' for a Much Bigger Attack?

While Krypton—an Ethereum-based smart contract platform—is recovering from a 51% attack, its founder voiced the possibility of it being a mere “dry-run” with a high probability of attacks on other lower cap coins in days ahead. The attack on Krypton involved an amount of 21,645 KR, which converts to approximately $3,000 from Bittrex’s wallets. Krypton has been trading on Bittrex exchange since the end of May, 2016.
