PANews reported on January 31 that the Flow Foundation officially released an update on the security incident remediation, confirming the permanent destruction of 87.4 billion counterfeit FLOW tokens. This marks the completion of the technical handling of the security incident on December 27, 2025. The destruction operation was executed on-chain by the community governance committee. All seized counterfeit assets have been completely removed from circulation, in accordance with the independent recovery plan disclosed in the previous technical review. Currently, validator nodes completed security patch deployment within 24 hours of the incident, and the network has continued to operate normally since then, with additional security measures introduced at the protocol level. Furthermore, network operation data shows that Flow has returned to a fully healthy state, processing over 3 million transactions in the past week. Core DeFi protocols are all operating normally. With the security remediation complete, the focus will now be on ecosystem expansion and product development.
Previously, it was reported that Flow suffered a $3.9 million loss due to a hack, but user deposits were not affected. In mid-January, its community governance committee completed the final recovery of counterfeit FLOW tokens that had not been liquidated in centralized exchanges including Binance and HTX.
