Justin Sun: TRON was attacked by a malicious contract, which has now been repaired and the on-chain data is intact

According to BlockBeats, on November 2, Justin Sun responded to the suspension of block production for nearly 2 hours on TRON. During the upgrade of version 4.1, the TRON mainnet was attacked by a malicious contract at 06:14 on November 2, 2020, Hong Kong time. The attack used the authority granted to the contract writer. The attacker initiated a malicious transaction to cause the super representative to suspend block production. As the busiest blockchain network in the industry, the attacker hoped to suspend the block production to make a profit. The TRON community responded immediately, located the attack features for emergency repairs, and jointly upgraded the super representative to fix the problem. After 08:29, the mainnet began to gradually resume block production, and finally the entire network returned to normal at 9:40. The on-chain data is intact and user assets are absolutely safe. According to BlockBeats, TRON suspended block production at 6:22 on November 2 (block height 24653194) and resumed at 8:29 on November 2 (block height 24653195).
