According to analysts, the following assets were stolen from the bridge:
103.6 tBTC
1,625 ETH
147,000 USDC
Following the attack, all assets were quickly swapped for 5,402 ETH. Interestingly, 14 hours prior to the exploit, the hacker's address received 1 ETH via Tornado Cash—likely to prepare the operation and cover their tracks.
Experts speculate that the attack may have been caused by a flaw in the cross-chain bridge's transaction verification mechanism. Possible scenarios include:
Signature forgery
Bypassing withdrawal logic
Vulnerabilities in cross-chain message validation
Weak access controls
Cross-chain bridges remain a prime target for hackers due to their high concentration of liquidity. In recent years alone, the industry has lost hundreds of millions of dollars through such vulnerabilities.
