IOTA also had problems in 2017-2018. Was it an error, an exploit or a hack, I don't remember now and I've never followed IOTA very closely, although I was tempted in 2017 to try my luck too with it. And since then, with all the crypto heading south, IOTA is not anymore on investors/speculators' agenda.
Now that money is coming back, maybe some more will risk. Hopefully the team has sorted out everything right this time.

Bet you can't find any of those things (error, hack, exploit), most of the drama came from a paper that showed a supposed exploit that required the user to hand over secret data for it to be successful--IE it was human engineering and not anything worth noting. Anyway, I'll let the past die as it really showed how off the community could be when misinformation is flying--now I give every project the benefit of a doubt until I've done my own research.

I've found this:

https://github.com/iotaledger/wallet/issues/1222
But it's not about the thing I was remembering. That one indeed I cannot find. However, it's old story. Ethereum history had its own share of mishaps and it's still seen as a top altcoin.

And you are 100% right to do your own research.
