Title: Damn Son! Our Litecoins Got Jacked!

" The recent rumors of supposed problems on the Litecoin network we believe were actually multiple clever attacks on pool servers, there was no instability in the Litecoin network itself.  Thanks to help from the Litecoin core devs, especially pooler of litecoinpool.org, we have found and fixed a share verification vulnerability in the pool server stratum implementation."

This is why I love Litecoin.  The development team behind Litecoin is totally amazing.  Thank you guys for actually figuring this out and implementing a fix so quickly.

all altcoin pool operators should be looking at this and patching their stratum servers if they are affected
