Title: Was a timejacking attack ever performed? Post by: Avgustin Aldridge on April 22, 2013, 08:38:03 AM The timejacking attack appears to be a pretty straightforward attack to pull off successfully. I was wondering, whether it was ever performed and documented somewhere, or was it just theoretically described?

Yes, it is straightforward, it just take enough computing power to have at least 51% of the total and thus overtake the network. Good luck.
