Short answer: No. Not at all!
Here's the original Reddit post:
https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/g8sof5/while_calculating_the_51_attack_cost_for_digibyte/
Here's people asking if there is an on-going attack (To which again, the answer is no, because you don't see a malicious miner honestly mining blocks on an on-going basis as is the case here):

Here's a screenshot from Chainz tonight showing the last 100 blocks distribution:

But we can look more at the mining distribution because 100 blocks for DigiByte is only 25 minutes worth (Roughly 2-ish BTC blocks):

You can see some stats on the network:

And you can read more about our block timings:
https://medium.com/@josiah_digibyte/measuring-expected-block-timing-for-difficulty-adjustment-c7a5bbffa775
So you can see there's really nothing I'm worried about here in the slightest, I'm grateful we have several honest miners participating in the network exactly as it was designed: 100% permissionless!
I really want to encourage the DigiByte community to use this chance to politely educate people, welcome them to the DigiByte world, and do-so with kindness. Make a new friend, not an enemy. Show them the truth about the DigiByte security that we love so much!

In this new series I want to cover some real basics about DigiByte, in short, bite-sized videos. The goal being if it's gone 5 minutes, it's gone on too long.
A lot of this will be real super simple stuff, but certain knowledge that I think is good to have out there, and documented, great to refer new friends and family to as well.
