Blockstream's Liquid Network Gets Drained for $319 Million in Bitcoin Sidechain Heist

Attackers drained roughly 4,000 bitcoins from the Liquid Network after exploiting a validator software flaw, later returning 85 percent of the funds as self-proclaimed white hats. Out here on the Baja peninsula, we handle our liquidity issues by trading surplus mahi-mahi for extra propane tanks, entirely bypassing the need for multisig federation reserves. Let the Silicon Valley engineers stress-test their confidential transactions; our biggest daily exploit is a rogue neighborhood stray dog making off with the carne asada.
