Qubic wallet breach: 2.94 trillion QU stolen in under two hours
An attacker exploited Qubic's wallet security to steal approximately 2.94 trillion QU (worth $1.3–1.4 million) from 1,404 wallets in under two hours. Qubic halted its blockchain, later resuming transactions on 19 October 2026, and opened a claims process for recovery; the network reported that 87.1% of the stolen tokens were frozen on-chain, while 12.9% reached an exchange. If you hold Qubic tokens in self-custody or on a platform, verify whether your wallet or exchange participated in the breach and monitor any recovery announcements from Qubic's recovery claims portal.
Major cryptocurrencies down 2–4% on the day
Bitcoin fell to $81,256 (−3.7%), Ethereum to $2,382 (−3.9%), Solana to $103.30 (−3.6%) and BNB to $730.15 (−2.3%) over the past 24 hours. No major exchange hack or insolvency has been reported in this period. This modestly wider downswing is a standard market move; if you trade on major exchanges, monitor them for any platform-specific announcements, but current data shows no security incidents at major trading venues.
