b14g Recovers 70% of Stolen CORE Following Exploit That Drained Entire Stakes

The b14g staking protocol recovered 70% of the stolen CORE after the Core network completed a hard fork to reverse the balances held in three addresses controlled by the attacker. The technical intervention was implemented following the security incident recorded on October 31, 2026, at 09:29 UTC. On that date, a malicious actor exploited a vulnerability in b14g ‘s withdrawal contracts, extracting a total of 97.05 million CORE tokens. According to on-chain records documented by Bitquery, this amount represented approximately $1.47 million at the time of the drain. Through a single state adjustment on Core ‘s base layer, developers managed to recover 68,146,177.22 CORE that remained immobile in wallets linked to the attacker.
