In case of a bug or attack,
the Bitcoin Core developers provide a
[Bitcoin alert service](https://bitcoin.org/en/alerts) with an RSS feed
and users of Bitcoin Core can check the error field of the `getinfo` RPC
results to get currently active alerts for their specific version of
Bitcoin Core.
*Removed in Bitcoin Core 0.13.0*
These messages are aggressively broadcast using the `alert` message, being sent to each peer upon connect for the duration of the alert.
These messages are signed by a specific ECDSA private key that only a small number of developers control.
**Resource:** More details about the structure of messages and a complete list of message types can be found in
the [P2P reference section][section P2P reference].
Earlier versions of Bitcoin Core allowed developers and trusted community members to issue [Bitcoin alerts](https://bitcoin.org/en/alerts) to notify users of critical network-wide issues. This messaging system [was retired](https://bitcoin.org/en/alert/2016-11-01-alert-retirement) in Bitcoin Core v0.13.0; however, internal alerts, partition detection warnings and the `-alertnotify` option features remain.
