Aptos fixed a critical vulnerability in its Move virtual machine that could have exposed up to $70 billion in digital assets to systemic risk, as identified by security firm Hexens. The bug, discovered in February, could have caused major disruptions in DeFi applications without requiring insider access. Aptos promptly deployed a fix after the private report, and no losses have been reported. This incident highlights the risks Layer 1 blockchains face from smart contract and execution-layer flaws and underscores the importance of robust security measures in crypto networks.
