tldr; The Cardano blockchain experienced a chain split due to a malformed transaction exploiting a software flaw, causing network disruption. The incident, described as a ‚poisoned‘ transaction attack, led to two distinct chains forming. Developers coordinated an emergency response, urging node upgrades to restore the main chain. The responsible individual apologized, claiming no malicious intent. No user funds were lost, but ADA’s price dropped over 6%. Authorities, including the FBI, are investigating the incident as a potential cyberattack.

This caused a chain split where 1/3 of the validators running v10.5.1 of Cardano node were building on a separate chain.
The attacker „said he relied on AI-generated instructions while blocking traffic on their server.“
Not a good sign when people are vibe coding attacks.
