Flare fast-tracks a security fix after an exploit attempt
@FlareNetworks ($FLR) is rolling out go-flare v1.15.1, a hard fork that patches a weakness in the upstream code its nodes run on. The fix was planned for later this month, but Flare moved it up after its monitoring caught someone trying to use the bug.
The fork activates on Wednesday at 14:00 UTC, and validators and node operators are urged to upgrade before then. Flare says user funds and keys are not affected, and users don’t need to do anything.
