For start to keep things clean and not scare people dont dont know whats up - DashCoin is NOT DASH
Monero, Bytecoin, DashCoin, DigitalNote are coins based on CryptoNote, they are forks.
XMR team has found a bug in the code some time ago allowing to create unlimited free coins in this technology.
They patched it and let other coins know. Aeon, Boolberry and Forknote are updated now along with XMR.
BCN DSH XDN still didnt update and news of the vulnerability are now public.
Mitigation (quote if the original article gets edited)
Several options exist for mitigation. The simplest, least invasive is noted below.
To mitigate, check key images for correctness by multiplying by the curve order l. Check that the result is the identity element.
Hexadecimal values of each:
Identity element = "0100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000"
Curve order (little endian) = "edd3f55c1a631258d69cf7a2def9de1400000000000000000000000000000010"
For each transaction key image, check ((key image * curve order) == (identity element)); reject transaction if false.Several options exist for mitigation. The simplest, least invasive is noted below.

Create unlimited free coins on all coins forked from CryptoNote before the fix?
The exploit allows double-spends. It allows anyone to create an infinite amount of coins in a way that is impossible to detect (unless you write special code to look for it)
Monero claims their chain is safe and they've already checked it.
Who has checked Monero's test? How can you look for these inflated coins?
Basically it means you could use your wallet to "pump up" other wallet balances with double spends. You could then sell these fake created coins on exchanges or stock pile them.
You basically have to edit every transaction on the entire chain.
I personally will not be buying any CryptoNote forked coin including Monero until more information is available. :(
This is a massive problem.

The detection is built into the standard node (and the code for that is in github, in case you want to check it). If you are using any recent version and you have synced from scratch then you have checked that the entire chain is devoid of any use of the exploit.

Hmm that´s actually a little scary, especially whenever you have a look on the value of some coins. It got a serious market that could experience a major drawback in case someone is successful on such a bug on a major coin... Especially as the public would then just be driven away even further from crypto.

Dash is Bitcoin-based and does not relate to this issue. DashCoin is Crptonote derived and was patched, although the Monero statement originally incorrectly said otherwise (may have been fixed now, I'm not sure).

It's funny to watch how bytecoin has been pumped like crazy recently. The project looks almost dead, has a non-functioning wallet (for Mac) and still it entered top 10 in market cap. To me it is proof you better watch out which train you jump on. Bytecoin is scratched from my list at least. I mined it this winter and sold the last pieces in the latest pump. Could have done better, but i dont care. There are better projects out there.

Solid post. I was about to post a similair post. There's a lot of exchanges out there. I found that coinmarketcap.com gives quite a decent overview. Besides coinmarketcap.com there is: https://www.coincheckup.com Supposingly they researched every crypto coin in the scene based on: the team, the product, advisors, community, the business and the business model. They even score the coins stengths. Check for example: https://www.coincheckup.com/coins/Bytecoin#analysis To check Bytecoin Investment and research analysis.
