AI summary

SlowMist researchers report that Qubic wallet private keys may be recoverable from just six network samples, indicating a serious weakness in the wallet's key generation. The 4.26.4 patch separates new account seeds from the exposed random stream but leaves header generation unchanged, so existing wallets and some generation paths may remain at risk. Traders holding QUBIC should treat this as a security concern that could prompt users to move funds or erode confidence in the network's wallet tooling.
