Well from what I see at least they now followed my advice and integrated the mentioned MAX_BLOCKS_PER_ALGO commit from myriad:

https://github.com/vergecurrency/VERGE/commit/80c81aef63272231fc39c2af4b8db9f3f2e9d328

This should fix at least the issue to "takeover" the chain by abusing one algo.. If it actually works.

However of course there's still damage done, the abusers funds are mined and in the chain, that guy is pretty rich now I guess
