- There can be malicious Blockchain users, who can use Poisoning, which means files with contents different to their description.
- Any insertion of Bad Patches/packets in the transaction file in the Open Ledger for the Blockchain mean it is the danger of Polluting.
- The user of the service without any sharing can also be an issue and is known issue as Defection.
- The old ways of Insertion of viruses, either attached to same or some other data sets.
- Starting a chain reaction of automated transaction stream to create the Denial of Service or slow down or stop the Blockchain traffic.
- Getting/assuming Identity of a Blockchain user, in terms of Identity Theft.
