BREAKING 🚨
A critical two-key security flaw could give hackers control of $91 billion worth of USDT, according to a new report.🔓
The rating agency behind the alert introduced a hybrid assessment framework that blends traditional Wall Street financial audits with Web3 code reviews, aiming to verify both off‑chain reserves and on‑chain security. The identified breach targets the dual‑private‑key mechanism that governs the master minting contract, meaning a successful breach could allow malicious actors to mint or freeze the entire USDT supply. Such a scenario would destabilize the stablecoin market and could spark sharp price swings across crypto assets. Regulators are likely to press for stricter controls and immediate remediation steps.
Stakeholders are urged to monitor developments as the industry scrambles for remediation.📉
