A recent security breach has resulted in the theft of approximately 11 BTC, primarily affecting altcoin transactions. According to ChainCatcher, the attack exploited a vulnerability related to negative miner fees, allowing the attacker to transfer funds to their own account through multi-signature transactions.
Bisq is currently discussing compensation options for the victims, who may choose between Bitcoin or BSQ tokens. The compensation plan requires approval through a DAO vote, expected to conclude after the DAO cycle ends on May 25. Bisq has addressed the vulnerability and plans to release a patch update, while also enhancing security reviews of its codebase to prevent wallet-related vulnerabilities.
The platform advises users to temporarily reduce the amount of BTC stored in their wallets. Despite the severity of the incident, Bisq considers it manageable and aims to provide a security warning for other projects.
