The Qubic price dropped 5.2% to $0.0000004394 following a security exploit that resulted in the draining of 1,404 wallets. Reuters reported that the attacker successfully accessed user funds without breaking the underlying blockchain technology. In response to the breach, Qubic network validators halted operations to prevent further unauthorized withdrawals.
