RE: How can you become a scam victim because of cosmic radiation? Bitsquatting

in #technology7 years ago (edited)

There was an IBM studies undertaken in the 90ies where they actually computed the probability for this to happen: 3.7 × 10-9 per byte per month. This is thus very very very unlikely :D (see here for moer information).

Wow, thanks for that info :D
But there is still a possibility of memory overheating (or some other random error) which, I guess is more likely to cause the bitsquatting error.

I would say this is way more likely than the cosmic ray hypothesis for sure ^^
