Not quite; there are two separate attacks currently ongoing against Bitcoin:<p>* The malleability attack: a transaction relayer is able to change the hash of the transactions, thus confusing senders or receivers who rely on this hash to check if the transaction has confirmed. This creates a nuisance, but all money arrive where they are supposed to. This attack does not affect memory usage on nodes, and it&#x27;s an old and well-known issue.<p>* A transaction spam attack (misleadingly called a &quot;stress test&quot;) where a shady group called coinwallet.eu creates a large amount of big transactions. These mostly have appopriate fees so that regular users who want their transactions to confirm in a timely manner has to out-bid the spammer. All the unconfirmed transactions are stored in the memory of nodes, so this severely affects memory usage (currently about 1 GB on some nodes).
