๐จ Beware the Sybil Attack: The Sneaky Trick that Can Take Over Your Network! ๐จ

To protect against #Sybil attacks, networks often use techniques like SybilGuard, SybilLimit, or the Advogato Trust Metric. ๐ก๏ธ These methods help identify suspicious clusters within the network, reducing the extent of possible damage. ๐
