Fortunately, <strong>no malicious exploitation<\/strong> was detected before the fix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the prompt response of development teams and validators to deploy a patch within 48 hours, the handling of this incident has drawn <strong>harsh criticisms<\/strong> within the crypto community. Some question the <strong>lack of transparency<\/strong> from the Solana Foundation in coordinating with validators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>&#8220;Why does one entity have all validators&#8217; contact details?
