  Yes, there have been reported cases of hackers attempting to use voltage glitching to steal cryptocurrencies. Voltage glitching is a technique where the voltage supplied to a device is manipulated in order to disrupt its normal operation and gain unauthorized access. While it is a relatively uncommon method compared to other cyber attacks, it has been used in some isolated incidents. However, it is important to note that the success rate of voltage glitching attacks on cryptocurrencies is relatively low due to the complex nature of the cryptographic algorithms and security measures implemented by most cryptocurrency platforms. These platforms employ various security measures such as hardware wallets, multi-factor authentication, and encryption to protect against such attacks.

  Voltage glitching, although a potential threat, is not a widely reported method of stealing cryptocurrencies. While there may have been some attempts to exploit vulnerabilities using this technique, it is not considered a major concern in the cryptocurrency community. The decentralized nature of blockchain technology and the use of cryptographic algorithms make it difficult for hackers to successfully execute voltage glitching attacks. However, it is always important to stay vigilant and keep up with the latest security practices to protect your digital assets.
