On July 29th, Casper Blockchain provided an update on its latest security incident that was recently discovered. On July 26th, Casper identified potential security vulnerabilities and promptly took action. After confirmation, the number of affected accounts was found to be less than 15, demonstrating Casper's quick response capability in dealing with security threats. The Casper team successfully developed targeted patches and is rigorously testing them to ensure their effectiveness and stability. To prevent further potential risks, the validator community decided to temporarily suspend the consensus mechanism and block production activities. This measure aims to protect the network from possible additional attacks while allowing the Casper team to focus on implementing and validating the patch process. Fortunately, despite the suspension, the Casper network remains online, indicating that the basic functions of the network were not affected during the suspension period. The Casper Association announced that they will conduct a comprehensive investigation to delve into the root cause of the security vulnerability and collaborate with relevant legal bodies to recover any funds transferred without authorization. This not only showcases Casper's commitment to safeguarding user assets but also reflects its professional attitude and meticulousness in handling cybersecurity issues.
