1,404 wallets and roughly $1.4 million worth of $QU tokens vanished just like that. This Qubic incident wasn’t caused by leaked private keys or phishing signatures. Instead, a vulnerability in the wallet seed generation process meant that seeds generated by some Apple devices and browsers were used by attackers to drain accounts. This detail deserves more attention than the amount lost: users followed the normal process to create wallets and store assets, but the problem was buried deep in the underlying toolchain.
Qubic has restarted its network. The block explorer shows that tick processing resumed at 20:00 on October 19, advancing beyond the 85,371,949 tick where it had previously stopped. The validators, known as Computors, approved the recovery plan. Affected users can now submit claims, with a deadline of May 1, 2027. The official recommendation is to recreate wallets using version 4.26.4 or later and transfer funds as soon as possible.
The restart and claims process may help cover some of the losses, but the seed vulnerability affected wallets generated by Apple devices and browsers—wallets that are fairly common among everyday users. When you create a wallet, do you make a point of checking the client version and seed generation environment? Or do you assume that “major platforms/mainstream devices” are safe?
