Flow blockchain's execution layer was successfully exploited, resulting in a $3.9M security breach. The attacker managed to mint millions of $wflow tokens during the attack. Beyond that, the hacker also gained unauthorized access to bridged assets on the network, including $wbtc and sweth. The stolen funds were subsequently transferred to Ethereum mainnet, making recovery significantly more challenging. The validators were notified, but the rapid cross-chain bridge transfer meant little could be done to prevent the assets from leaving the network. This incident highlights the critical importance of robust security measures in blockchain infrastructure, especially at the execution layer where transactions are processed.

Once again, the execution layer has issues. Flow's failure this time is quite thorough... 3.9M is gone just like that, and it was transferred cross-chain to Ethereum, making it impossible to track back.

Flow has been hacked again and again, and $3.9 million is gone just like that. The breach of the execution layer is just too outrageous.

Another execution layer has been compromised. Flow went all out this time... 3.9M lost, even the minting machine is now in hackers' hands.

$3.9 million flowed into Ethereum... Did this risk control threshold not trigger? The execution layer was breached, what about the liquidation mechanism for lending positions?

Another "secure" blockchain has failed again, hilarious. Flow really can't make it this time.

Flow has had another issue? The security of this execution layer is really outrageous; $3.9 million is gone just like that.
