  4. Michi Lumin, a Dogecoin Core developer, echoed the importance of the latest update in a detailed X post.

  5. According to Lumin, the 1.14.9 update released two weeks ago has been very well received. However, a significant number of node operators have failed to update, believing that their current configuration is sufficient.

  6. Developers can release updates, but it's up to the community to implement them. This collective effort ensures the robustness and security of the network.

  7. This comes as recent reports indicate that a hacker exploited a DOGE bug, crashing 69% of nodes and exposing a vulnerability that could have brought down the entire network. The total number of nodes reported was 647, which decreased to 247 after the incident.

  8. X users have refuted the inaccuracy in the X community notes, claiming that the Dogecoin network has over 14,000 active nodes and that the flaw in question has been fixed as of the latest Dogecoin Core version 1.14.9.

  9. Lumin dismissed the recent FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) by saying, “The numbers being talked about, while sensational, are not entirely accurate. But it should send a message: if you’re running a node full time, you need to keep it up to date.”

  10. As reported in a previous X-post, Dogecoin developer Inevitable 360 ​​issued an urgent alert to Dogecoin node operators shortly after the release of version 1.14.9, citing a vulnerability disclosure that is addressed by the update.
