What happened
Zilliqa announced that ZIL was stolen from a cold wallet of one of its exchange partners. Investigation confirmed the root cause was a nonce-generation vulnerability in the Zilliqa Ledger app (present since 2019), allowing private key recovery from on-chain Schnorr signatures (after ~5+ native transactions). It was not due to the exchange’s operations. Native transactions were suspended and a fix is being coordinated.
