Flow blockchain experienced a thrilling security incident this weekend. Attackers exploited a vulnerability in the execution layer and temporarily stole millions of dollars worth of assets. Fortunately, all parties within the ecosystem responded quickly—validators urgently shut down the network within half an hour, successfully preventing the situation from worsening. The core development team and community developers quickly identified and fixed this critical vulnerability. What is even more impressive is that the Flow Foundation, bridging operators, exchanges, and ecosystem partners finalized a complete fix within 48 hours, setting a benchmark for industry efficiency. As of this morning, the network under the Cadence environment has fully resumed normal operation, and 99.9% of user accounts have been successfully restored. Although the incident was dangerous, from emergency response to recovery progress, the security of consumer accounts was fully protected.

Millions lost and then regained, the efficiency is truly amazing, but I still have to ask why this vulnerability was able to slip in initially.

Flow's response this time really speaks for itself: offline for half an hour, repaired in 48 hours. This is what blockchain should be like.

Flow's response this time was pretty quick, but it's still a bit upsetting to have so much stolen by hackers.
