Blockstream said on September 7 that its Liquid Network bridge nodes have been patched and secured, clearing the way for the return of approximately 4,000 BTC, worth around $320 million, that were fraudulently drained from the Liquid Federation wallet a day earlier. The exploit, which stemmed from a vulnerability in the bridge infrastructure, prompted the company to act on the affected nodes and restore security before the assets are returned.
