In NKN's consensus protocol using cellular automata with random topology, malicious nodes achieve maximum disruption through the flip-side attack: setting their initial state to the minority opinion and never changing it, and the protocol is secure against this attack if and only if the fraction of malicious nodes is less than the absolute difference in honest node counts between the two states

“the most effective way to attack the correctness of the system is to use something i called flip side attack and the attack is pretty simple the attacker will set all their malicious nodes initial state to the minority state of the network and they will not change their malicious note state during the consensus”
