🚨 BLOCKSTREAM REFUSES RANSOM AS EXPLOITER HOLDS 598 $BTC HOSTAGE! 🛡️

Blockstream just drew a hard line in the sand after the Liquid Network exploit saw 4,000 $BTC drained. The attacker returned 3,400 $BTC but kept 598.5 $BTC hostage under the guise of a 10% bug bounty demand. 🛡️

Instead of bowing to extortion, the team officially rejected the demands outright. 💡 This unwavering stance sends a powerful signal across market infrastructure that bad actors will not extract forced payouts. 🔍

💬 Does taking a zero-compromise approach strengthen industry security long-term, or should projects negotiate to protect funds? 👇
