Question 616

A publicly traded blockchain startup conducts a forensic review after irregular transaction reversals are detected on its distributed ledger platform. Network telemetry indicates that a single coordinated entity controlled a dominant share of the computational power participating in block validation during the affected time window.
As a result, certain confirmed transactions were replaced with alternate versions, enabling double-spending before the broader network regained balance. No individual node isolation or transaction front-running behavior is observed; rather, the anomaly stems from disproportionate influence over block creation.
Identify the blockchain attack most consistent with this incident.

    You are performing a security audit for a regional hospital in Dallas, Texas. While monitoring the network, you discover that an unknown actor has been silently capturing clear-text credentials and analyzing unencrypted traffic flowing across the internal Wi-Fi network. No modifications have been made to the data, and the attack remained undetected until your assessment. Based on this activity, what type of attack is most likely being conducted?
