A software bug in Blockstream's Liquid Network led to the unauthorized creation and movement of nearly 4,000 Bitcoin, though user wallets are unaffected because SideSwap is non-custodial and its systems were not compromised. The issue stems from a bug in the Elements software that created L-BTC, leading to a temporary pause of the Liquid Network by the Federation.
