Disruption of Cardano network due to ‘poisoned’ transaction attack

Cardano’s blockchain experienced a split resulting from a malformed transaction. This incident led to a public apology from a user who claimed responsibility while trying to reproduce the bad transaction.

The governance body, Intersect, stated that the event exploited a software vulnerability. Charles Hoskinson labeled the attack as intentional, but assured that no funds were compromised during the disruption.
