How Does a Malicious Miner Try to Cheat the Share Submission System?

Malicious miners might attempt to submit 'fake' or 'stolen' shares. A common attack is 'share hijacking' or 'time warping,' where a miner tries to submit shares that were not genuinely found by them or were found at a time that gives them an unfair advantage.

Pool software employs rigorous validation checks, including timestamp verification and nonce checks, to prevent these attempts and ensure fair distribution of rewards.
