$3.9 Million Exploit Forces Flow Blockchain Pause
Attackers exploited a vulnerability in Flow’s execution layer, moving about $3.9 million in assets before a network halt. The Flow Foundation, together with Dapper Labs, flagged the attacker’s wallet and requested asset freezes from major exchanges.
