Flow team recently issued a statement regarding the security vulnerability incident on December 27 and the joint response efforts with major exchanges. Since the day the incident was exposed, Flow has been working closely with global exchanges with a clear goal — to protect user funds and restore platform operations.

But here’s the issue: Flow has expressed clear concern about the attitude of a certain leading exchange in handling this matter. The situation is as follows — within just a few hours after the vulnerability was exposed, an account deposited a total of 150 million FLOW tokens, then exchanged a large amount for BTC, and finally successfully withdrew over $5 million.

What does this operational process reveal? Simply put, it shows that this exchange’s AML/KYC processes have obvious vulnerabilities. As a result, the Flow Foundation has directly requested a meeting with the top management of the exchange, intending to fundamentally address the issues within their anti-money laundering and identity verification systems. The case has now been handed over to law enforcement authorities for investigation.

For users, this also serves as a wake-up call — the difference in risk control capabilities among exchanges is really significant. When choosing a platform, it’s important to look at their security certification systems and fund protection measures.
