Abstract	With the rise of digital money in the form of Bitcoin and others, also rise the risks that are aimed at compromising their security. Cutting-edge cyber tools like Pegasus spyware and Stuxnet malware have defined the new paradigm for digital warfare[1], [2]. Although not initially intended for cryptocurrency attacks, these cyber weapons have exposed gaping weaknesses in blockchain networks[3]. This paper discusses how Pegasus and Stuxnet may interfere with Bitcoin's decentralized framework, analyzing their effects on security, stability, and market confidence. The research also assesses how such threats would affect investor sentiment and regulatory actions, enlightening us on the changing risks in the cryptocurrency arena.
