THROWBACK: The Night BNB Chain Hit Pause
Four years ago this week, an attacker exploited BSC Token Hub, the native bridge between BNB Beacon Chain and BNB Smart Chain. Using a forged low-level proof, they withdrew 2 million
$BNB . To contain it, the team contacted validators one by one (26 active, 44 total) to halt the chain. BNB Chain said most of the funds stayed under control and proposed a $1M-per-bug whitehat program.
Should a chain ever be able to hit pause?
