Breaking:
A breach of 1,404 wallets forces the Qubic network to halt operations!
🔴 The Qubic (QU) network suffered a security attack that resulted in the theft of around $1.4 million from 1,404 digital wallets, prompting the network's operators to temporarily suspend operations to limit the movement of funds.
🔍 How did the breach happen?
Reports revealed that the issue was linked to a weakness in the recovery phrase generation mechanism for some wallets, making their private keys guessable. Initial investigations indicated that the flaw was in wallet creation, not in the blockchain protocol itself.
💰 Where are the stolen funds?
▪️ 87.1% of the stolen funds remain inside the suspended network.
▪️ The remaining amount was transferred to the MEXC platform, which froze the account that received the funds.
⚠️ Who may be affected?
Wallets created using versions or environments affected by the flaw may be at risk, even if no funds have been stolen from them so far. Affected users are therefore advised to follow Qubic's official security instructions.
📊 Why does this breach matter?
The incident highlights that cryptocurrency security depends not only on the blockchain, but also on the integrity of wallet creation and the protection of private keys.
💬 Will Qubic be able to regain users' trust after this incident?
