The Bittensor network hack was first reported on the TAO community’s discord. Its <a href="https://x.com/shibshib89/status/1808306071263760612" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">co-founder</a> Jacob Robert Steeves confirmed the situation, and Connery shared on X. The network had been suspended temporarily as developers investigating the suspicious activity. “const,” the community moderator shared on X:&nbsp;
“We are investigating what appears to have been an attack on a number of Bittensor wallets over the last 3 hours, and in an abundance of caution have recently fully halted transactions on chain until there is more information available to us about the nature of this attack.”
Meanwhile, the block production halt on the TAO network was part of a security measure to prevent further damage and safeguard the network. During this period, TAO trading suspended, which added to the <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/investors-eye-upcoming-u-s-economic-data-amid-crypto-market-volatility/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">market’s volatility</a>. Further, it allows an investigation into the suspicious activities within the network.&nbsp;
Along with the <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/coinstats-halts-operations-post-security-breach-impacting-1590-wallets/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">security breach</a> of the network, the theft of 32K TAO worth $8 million was <a href="https://x.taostats.io/account/5FbWTraF7jfBe5EvCmSThum85htcrEsCzwuFjG3PukTUQYot#transfers" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">reported</a> earlier today as private key leakage was observed. And previously in June, a Bittensor (TAO) user lost over 28K tokens worth $11.2 million.&nbsp;
