b14g exploit drains about $1.47 million in CORE
BROBROK News · Based on reporting by DiarioBitcoin ·
b14g was hit by an attack on October 31 that drained about 97 million CORE, valued at roughly $1.47 million by Bitquery. The incident involved zero-value withdrawal requests, while BTC deposited through the protocol was reported as unaffected.
Key points
- Bitquery said 97 million CORE were removed from 91 staking positions in a single transaction.
- The attacker appears to have used zero-CORE withdrawal requests that were treated as full withdrawals.
- b14g paused the affected contracts after detecting the incident.
- Partners reportedly froze part of the funds, and about 68 million CORE had not moved by the end of October 31.
- The analysis did not find evidence of a compromised admin key or a newly deployed malicious contract.
Why it matters
The incident highlights how contract logic errors can lead to losses without affecting the underlying blockchain itself. It also shows that different assets in the same protocol can face different risk profiles, with BTC remaining locked outside the exploit path.
