Zcash Bug Leaking Metadata Containing Full Nodes With Zaddrs
The Zcash bug was initially just a rumor but many people began to realize the gravity of the situation after the Komodo (KMD) core developer Duke Leto fully described the bug in his personal website. Last week, Leto explained that the bug has in fact been there for quite a while:
“A nasty bug has existed for all the shielded addresses ever since the inception of Zcash and its protocol.
Leto mentions that users should carefully consider their geo-location and IP address information as its tied to their zaddr. Leto revealed that Zcash is joined by Hush, Pirate Komodo smart chains with the zaddr enabled by their default settings, Horizen, Zero, VoteCoin, BitcoinZ, LitecoinZ, Zelcash, Verus, Arrow, Ycash, Bitcoin Private, Zclassic, Anon and quite a few more.
