In the Liquid exploit, the last 600 bitcoins— the attackers spoke up to demand a ransom that Blockstream refused outright
Some money can’t be given. Give it once, and there will be a second time.
Remember the 2025 Liquid hot wallet vulnerability? Back then, a large amount of assets were stolen. Now the attackers are targeting the remaining 600 bitcoins, offering ransom terms 💰 But Blockstream, a Bitcoin infrastructure company, directly rejected them—no money, not a single cent. Their stance is crystal clear: bowing to extortion only encourages more attacks. These 600 bitcoins are worth a lot, but the team chose to fight back to the end.
In plain terms: the company would rather have the asset tied up temporarily than pay hackers. Because once you open that door, everyone will come knocking for a cut.
My take is that this kind of tough attitude is pretty rare in security incidents, but it’s good news for the whole industry. It reminds us that the security of on-chain assets ultimately depends on managing your own private keys—not on hoping others will step in as a backup 🛡️
Every day, I’ll bring you the latest crypto headlines. It’s not just about what happened in the news—I’ll help you understand the logic and opportunities behind it 👀🚀
