πŸš€ Chainflip Addresses Bybit CEO's Request Amid Security Concerns

According to Odaily, cross-chain bridge Chainflip has responded to a request from Bybit CEO Ben Zhou regarding the freezing of funds. Chainflip stated that while they are making every effort to address the current situation, as a decentralized protocol, they are unable to completely stop, freeze, or redirect any funds. However, they have closed some front-end services to prevent the movement of funds. Previously, Ben Zhou had posted on the X platform, indicating that hackers were attempting to transfer BTC through Chainflip and requested Chainflip's assistance in preventing further asset transfers to other chains.

πŸš€ Flow Blockchain Implements Protocol Fix Following Exploit

According to Foresight News, Flow has announced the deployment of a protocol fix to address a recent exploit. Node operators are coordinating the upgrade to revert the network to a checkpoint prior to the attack, removing unauthorized transactions from the ledger. Flow emphasized that this rollback is essential to mitigate the impact of the attack. Users are advised to resubmit transactions made during the network interruption from December 27, 15:25 to December 27, 21:30 UTC+8 once the network is restored. The foundation will confirm these transactions upon the network's official relaunch.

Flow reported that attackers exploited a vulnerability in the Flow execution layer on December 27, transferring approximately $3.9 million before the network shutdown. The attack did not compromise existing user balances, ensuring the safety of all deposits. The funds were primarily moved through bridges like Celer, Debridge, Relay, and Stargate. The attacker’s wallet has been identified and flagged, with laundering activities via Thorchain and Chainflip being actively monitored. Flow Foundation has also requested asset freezes from Circle, Tether, and major exchanges.
