The Ongoing Bitcoin Malleability Attack

Over the past 72 hours, the Bitcoin protocol has been suffering from a malleability attack. The attack has been happening to quite a few users moving funds on the network. The transactions look like bitcoin being sent twice or “double spent.” Typically the real action gets confirmed by the network, and the misleading output disappears on most wallets. The attack has been said to be safe but rather a “nuisance”.
