Bitcoin Satoshi’s Vision (BSV), a blockchain developed during the Bitcoin Cash hash wars, has reported that a criminal has misutilized immutability feature of blockchain to upload child exploitation material on its blockchain.

The act was made possible as a result of increasing the data transactions limit by 450 times (to 100KB) by the community members, which allowed storing of images, video, and audio in BSV blockchain. The offensive content was first seen on a website that shares the files hosted by the BSV network. However, it was revealed that BSV network specific payment app Money Button had processed some transactions which resulted in the image upload.

A spokesperson has confirmed the news stating that the content can never be removed from the blockchain until the transaction is rolled back. He also added that block explorers have stopped the data from being shown in transactions, preventing the illicit content from general public.
