Earlier in October, an unknown hacker breached the cross-chain bridge BSC Token Hub and stole digital assets worth $544 million, but managed to withdraw only $100 million.

The BNB Chain team paused network operation for several hours, and subsequently carried out a hard fork for \”urgent fixes\” of vulnerabilities.
