Could recent 'ordinals' congestion be considered as an attack to blockchain? If so, how easy is it to upload a virus into blockchain itself?

Ordinals are basically spam but they are not harmful to your computer security. First you'd need to inscribe an ordinal containing a malicious program (like .EXE) into a block, and then you can only get infected via a vulnerability in a custom tool that somebody would create to parse Ordinals.
