Qubic restarts blockchain, opens recovery claims after $1.4M hack
Summary
Qubic restarted its network after halting it to stop an attacker who exploited predictable wallet seeds and stole about $1.4 million in QU from 1,404 accounts. Validators approved a recovery plan, and affected users can submit claims through the project’s platform until May 1, 2027. The flaw affected wallets created with Qubic’s web wallet on certain Apple devices and browsers. Qubic says the latest version, 4.26.4, fixes the seed-generation issue and advises anyone who created a wallet with an earlier version to create a new wallet and move their funds.
