Flash: AnomaPay: Security vulnerability found in proof system; user funds temporarily inaccessible
BlockBeats News, November 11: Privacy payment app AnomaPay announced that an external security vulnerability had been discovered in the RISC Zero proof system it uses, potentially putting user funds at risk. To protect user assets, Anoma has suspended the relevant RISC Zero verifier. The RISC Zero team will upgrade it. AnomaPay said that funds users have deposited remain safe, but will be temporarily inaccessible until the Anoma protocol is upgraded to V2. The upgrade is expected to take about two weeks, and will incorporate security updates provided by RISC Zero. Users do not need to take any action; once the upgrade is complete, funds will automatically migrate to V2 and become accessible again.
