Major News: https://getmonero.org/2017/05/17/disclosure-of-a-major-bug-in-cryptonote-based-currencies.html

Monero chain controlled by devs and unnafected.

great Jobs from devs, this issue was handled as professionally as possible. also monero maybe made some friends in the process by playing fair.

Bravo for the well handled issue that would have been devastating to XMR altogether should such information got into the wrong hands at the wrong time.

Very proud of the development team.

Don't want to rain on the parade... and this is (most likely) very cool news indeed.
But is there some detail/proof forthis assertion?:

2017-02-20: The Monero blockchain is scanned to see if this had ever been exploited; thankfully it had not and the blockchain is intact.

the major proof is that the nodes that contain the fix are able to sync up with the network.

however, im pretty sure they will soon be more to come.

--> im a noob, things i say might not always be completely correct :-)

Correct. Every node contains the code to check for the exploit now so successfully syncing ensures that it hasn't been used.
