According to ME News, on November 1 (UTC+8), Core DAO tweeted that it has become aware of a vulnerability affecting the Bitcoin double-staking layer b14g and is closely collaborating with the b14g team. The Core network itself remains secure, with consensus, validators, and staking contracts operating normally; CORE staked directly with validators or through other protocols is unaffected. Core is supporting b14g and its exchange partners in tracking and freezing funds, with most of the stolen CORE still remaining on the Core chain, and exchanges are freezing deposits associated with the attacker.
Foresight News previously reported that b14g tweeted that at 17:29 Beijing time on October 31, approximately 97 million CORE tokens staked through b14g were unauthorizedly withdrawn and transferred to the attacker’s address. Upon discovery, the official team immediately paused the affected contract and is collaborating with the Core team, security partners, and exchanges to track the funds and coordinate their freezing and recovery.
