Ethereum will become more vulnerable to attacks after "The Merge" This week, Ethereum should move to the Proof-of-Stake consensus, and this event has both supporters and critics. There is no denying the fact that PoS is less secure and the "merger" will make Ethereum more vulnerable to hacker attacks. The main difference between PoS and PoW lies in the verification mechanism - in the first, it is notified in advance which blocks this procedure will affect. This could allow hackers to plan their attacks more effectively. By taking control of two consecutive blocks, the criminals will be able to launch an attack on the first, and finish on the second, the expert believes. © CryptoGuru
