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.
2017-02-21: The patch is surreptitiously snuck into the Monero codebase in [pull request #1744](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/1744). It is kept secret to prevent it being used to attack other CryptoNote coins.
2017-02-22: A [point release of Monero is rushed out](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/releases/tag/v0.10.2) so that exchanges and mining pools can update, under the guise of it preventing a RingCT DoS attack (such attack did not exist, but it seemed a fair explanation).

2017-03-26: A further [point release of Monero](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/releases/tag/v0.10.3.1) is put out to prepare for a hard fork in April.
2017-04-14: The Monero network hard forks to increase the dynamic block size minimum median, but this has the added bonus of ensuring the entire network is protected.
2017-04-17: All CryptoNote coins are contacted, and told that they have until mid-May to patch their coins, before there will be a public disclosure of the issue.
2017-04-17: As noted by [Riccardo "fluffypony" Spagni on Twitter](https://twitter.com/fluffyponyza/status/854029169667309569), the hash of the message sent to the various CryptoNote currencies is precommitted to the Monero blockchain.
