THORChain exploit tied to malicious node and GG20 flaw

The $10.7 million THORChain exploit was caused by a GG20 vulnerability, which allowed a malicious node to reconstruct a full private key to one of its vaults.

The GG20 threshold signature scheme is used to secure THORChain vaults by splitting key control across multiple node operators, meaning no single node normally holds the full private key.
