Injective: No On-Chain Attack, INJ and User Funds Safe During Upgrade
OdailyOdaily News: Injective officially stated that an accelerated network upgrade took longer than expected yesterday, but throughout the process, the Injective blockchain and INJ assets remained secure. The protocol and consensus mechanism were not compromised, and user and staked funds were unaffected.
The upgrade was triggered by the exploitation of binary options markets in a few ecosystem applications. The scope of the attack was limited to the affected applications and did not touch the Injective chain itself. During the upgrade, some validators were temporarily suspended for not completing the upgrade in time, causing a temporary decrease in network staking, and some exchanges also paused deposits and withdrawals to update nodes.
Injective stated that the attack vector has been fixed, and stricter constraints, real-time monitoring, and security protection mechanisms will be introduced in the future.
