Starting April 9, 2026, Bitcoin's peer-to-peer network saw a sudden surge of over 200,000 fake node addresses, raising concerns of a stealth Sybil attack.

Currently, the attack mainly increases network load without directly threatening blockchain consensus, and the market has not significantly reacted to this development.
