b14g Recovers 68.15 Million CORE in Core Network Hard Fork

A hard fork of the Core network has recovered 68,146,177.22 Core (CORE) tokens from three addresses b14g identified as attacker-controlled after an exploit, though affected users have not yet received the funds.

About 97.05 million CORE were involved in the incident, making the recovered amount roughly 70% of the total. The tokens were moved to a designated recovery address through a one-time adjustment to the network’s state. The recovered tokens have not yet been distributed to affected users.

The hard fork did not roll back transactions, create new tokens or change CORE’s total supply. Those limits distinguish the recovery from a reversal of the transactions that preceded it. The recovered amount covers only part of the CORE involved in the exploit; b14g is pursuing other assets tied to the incident.

b14g is a Bitcoin dual-staking layer. It is coordinating with exchanges and law enforcement to recover remaining frozen assets and plans to develop a transparent distribution plan.
