๐จ Qubic hacked: 2.94 trillion QU stolen, network halted!
In less than two hours, an attacker drained 1,404 Qubic wallets, stealing around 2.94 trillion QU (approximately $1.3 million).
The cause was an error in wallet secret key generation: insufficient randomness allowed the attacker to access the funds.
โ 87.1% of the stolen QU remained on the network and was locked after transactions were halted.
โ 12.9% was transferred to MEXC, where the exchange froze the recipientโs account.
โ Qubic halted the network at block 85,371,949. Several exchanges also suspended QUBIC deposits and withdrawals.
โ The vulnerability was fixed in version 4.26.4. According to the developers, the blockchain protocol itself was not hacked.
