An attacker exploited insufficient randomness in wallet seed generation, not a flaw in the Qubic protocol itself. Computors halted the network at tick 85,371,949, freezing 87.1% of the stolen funds on-chain; the remaining 12.9% was sent to MEXC, which froze the account within about an hour. Seed generation was fixed in version 4.26.4. Affected seeds include those created on iPhone/iPad browsers or Mac Safari before 18 October 2026, or in the iOS app before July 2025. Recovery decisions rest with the Computor quorum, with a community poll open on Discord.
