Abstract generation in progress

ChainCatcher messages, according to official sources, the protocol was recently attacked due to a lack of verification mechanisms, resulting in approximately 11 BTC being stolen, mainly involving altcoin transactions. The attacker exploited a negative miner fee vulnerability to transfer funds to their own account through multi-signature transactions.

Currently, Bisq is discussing compensation plans; victims can choose to be compensated in Bitcoin or BSQ tokens, but implementation requires DAO voting, which is expected to be finalized after the DAO cycle ends on May 25.

Bisq stated that the vulnerability has been fixed and plans to release a patch update, while also strengthening the security review of the codebase, focusing on preventing vulnerabilities that could affect wallets. Additionally, Bisq advises users to temporarily reduce the amount of BTC stored in their wallets. The official stance is that although this incident is serious, it is manageable, and they hope to provide a security warning for other projects.
