Here’s the latest verified update on the Flow blockchain resolving the ~$3.9 million exploit:
🔎 What Happened
On December 27, 2025, the Flow blockchain suffered a security breach where a vulnerability in its execution layer was exploited, allowing an attacker to siphon approximately $3.9 million worth of assets off the network through bridges such as Celer, deBridge, Relay, and Stargate. �

🛠️ Immediate Response & Resolution
Network Halted & Fix Deployed: Flow validators and the Flow Foundation shut down the network promptly to stop further unauthorized activity and developed a protocol fix (Mainnet 28) to isolate the vulnerability. �
Gate.com +1
Rollback to Pre‑Attack State: The blockchain has been rolled back to a checkpoint before the exploit. This effectively removes the unauthorized transactions from the ledger, though legitimate transactions in that window will need to be resubmitted once the chain fully reopens. �

Network in Read‑Only Mode: After deploying the fix, Flow is running in a read‑only state while validators and ecosystem partners (exchanges, bridges) sync up to ensure balance integrity before full operations resume. �

📌 User Funds & Security Measures
User Balances Are Safe: The exploit did not affect existing user deposits or balances held prior to the incident. �
ChainCatcher
Attacker Tracking & Freeze Requests: The attacker’s wallet has been identified and flagged, with freeze requests submitted to major exchanges and stablecoin issuers like Circle and Tether to prevent further misuse of funds. �

Forensics Ongoing: Forensic analysis continues, tracking how the stolen assets were moved and laundered (e.g., via THORChain and Chainflip). �

📉 Market Impact
In reaction to the exploit and resolution efforts, the FLOW token price plunged sharply (down 40–46% at one point) amid panic selling before partial rebounds. �
HTX +1
Some exchanges paused deposits/withdrawals for FLOW to limit volatility and potential risks. �
ForkLog
📊 Next Steps
Full Restart Pending: Final coordination and validation between validators and partners is underway. A complete restart of full transaction processing is expected once synchronization is confirmed. �
Crypto Briefing
Post‑Mortem Report: Flow’s team has committed to publishing a technical post‑mortem within about 72 hours detailing the exploit and mitigation. �
