Qubic Halts Chain After Weak-Seed Attack Drains 1,400 Wallets

Qubic halted its blockchain after an attacker drained about 1,400 wallets linked to weak seeds, according to Cointelegraph.

The project said 87.1% of the stolen funds were still onchain. The remaining portion had been frozen at cryptocurrency exchange MEXC.

Network validators are preparing to vote on a recovery plan. The proposed response has yet to receive their approval.
