it comes down to fork choice – if 70% of the network chooses a fork where reversal is a permitted state change, then 70% of the network is on a fork where reversal is a permitted state change, and 30% is not. Which one is the "official" network? That comes down to the conensus of users, ultimately. From the perspective of Quilibrium the company, if there is a _protocol-level_ vulnerability that resulted in loss, our position is to issue an alert, halt our own nodes, and issue a patch to resolve that. If there is an _application-level_ vulnerability, it is ultimately the decision of the application developers on how to handle, although for Q Inc-oriented operations like maintenance of the bridge code, helping stop the flow of compromised tokens is something we can help on.
In short, it's grey – as is any situation where human consensus is a part of the picture. When the DAO hack happened, the majority fork chose Ethereum as it is today, the minority fork became Eth Classic. 0 reply
