The BitShares Foundation also posted an update related to this incident on Asset Creation Temporarily suspended

Issue 433

This issue addresses a bug where a new asset was created and the fee wasn't paid in CORE assets, the network unexpectedly created an extra amount of CORE assets from nowhere.

The Issue is solved in PR 432, which makes it only possible to pay the fee for asset creations in BTS since block 21,040,000 (Current Block is 21,047,346).

Limiting asset creation fees to BTS will most likely be a short hand fix since a better fix will require a Hardfork.

TODO this code block is a soft fork, remove it after bitshares-core issue #433 is fixed.
