Qubic paused all transactions after about $1.3 million worth of QU tokens were stolen from 1,404 wallets due to a vulnerability in predictable wallet seeds on older Apple devices and browsers. The theft occurred between October 17 and 18, prompting validators to stop network activity and freeze most stolen tokens on the paused network. The flaw was fixed in version 4.26.4, and exchanges MEXC and Bitget froze moved tokens and suspended QUBIC trading to protect users. The Qubic Computor cluster will decide on compensation for affected wallet holders, while QEARN staking remains unaffected.
