Blockchain tech has seen an explosive increase in popularity and utility over the last few years, with cryptocurrencies alone accounting for market capitalization in the trillions of dollars. Many crypto and blockchain users simply assume that the underlying technology is secure and that the supposedly invulnerable ledger is actually immutable. Importantly, however, this is not always the case.
