🚨 5 BILLION fake $SYS tokens minted in @syscoin Bridge exploit. WHAT HAPPENED: On June 8, Syscoin’s cross-chain bridge was hit by a massive supply inflation attack. The attacker bypassed validation to mint 5B unauthorized tokens. The team has paused the bridge, but the fake tokens are already in motion. Markets are reacting with extreme volatility. THE ATTACK: This follows the textbook 2026 bridge playbook: Forged cross-chain messages/validation bypass. Unauthorized minting of unbacked SYS. Infrastructure-level failure. CHAINBOUNTY TAKE: Bridges are still the #1 target in 2026. With over $340M drained across 14 exploits YTD, this isn't just about bad code anymore—it's about flawed message validation. One compromised path = billions in fake supply. HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF: Holders/LPs: Check the explorer for supply spikes. If you hold bridged assets, revoke approvals immediately and monitor for suspicious activity. Devs: Move beyond single-layer validation. Enforce cryptographic economic amount checks on every single message. THE BIG QUESTION: Are cross-chain bridges fundamentally broken, or just waiting for better economic proofs?

🚨 SCAM ALERT: MAP PROTOCOL & BUTTER NETWORK BRIDGE EXPLOITED! 🚨 A massive infinite-mint exploit has completely broken the cross-chain bridge architecture for Map Protocol (@MapProtocol ) and Butter Network (@ButterNetworkio ) across both Ethereum and BSC. The attacker managed to trick the Butter Bridge V3.1 (OmniServiceProxy) contract into minting an astronomical amount of fake tokens directly to a brand-new EOA. 🔍 REASONS BEHIND: The 4.8 Million-Fold Supply Shock The Loophole: The OmniServiceProxy engine suffered an extreme access-control verification breakdown. It accepted an un-validated input payload packet and interpreted it as an authorized cross-chain messaging command. The Infinite Mint: Instead of throwing a revert error, the contract allowed the attacker to mint a staggering 10 Trillion MAPO tokens straight to a fresh wallet. The Economic Impact: This rogue mint injected over 4.8 Million times the legitimate circulating token supply out of thin air, causing severe downstream pool drain risks. Bridge contracts between the ERC-20 token and the MAPO mainnet have been forced into emergency suspension. 💡 PREVENTIVE EDUCATION: Protecting Your Wallet 🛑 Revoke Approvals Immediately: If your wallet has active spending permissions granted to Butter Network V3.1 or Map Protocol bridge contracts, use a tool like Revoke.cash to clear them right now. 🛑 Do Not Trade the Pool: MAP Protocol has explicitly advised against buying or trading MAPO ERC-20 tokens on decentralized exchanges like Uniswap or PancakeSwap during the mitigation process. Arbitrageurs are aggressively dumping the minted supply, putting remaining liquidity providers at massive risk. $MAPO ethereum:native binancecoin:native #MapProtocol #BridgeExploit 👇 Please check the comments to read the full Scam Alert & learn how to protect yourself.

🚨 Posible incidente de seguridad en el puente Verus–Ethereum Una alerta atribuida a Blockaid señala un presunto exploit en curso contra el bridge de Verus hacia Ethereum, con pérdidas estimadas inicialmente en ~$11.58M. ⚠️ IMPORTANTE: Por ahora no existe confirmación pública sólida ni reporte técnico completo por parte de Verus o firmas independientes de auditoría, por lo que la información debe tratarse como preliminar. ¿Por qué esto importa? Los puentes cross-chain son uno de los puntos más vulnerables del ecosistema crypto. Conectan distintas blockchains y suelen custodiar grandes cantidades de liquidez, convirtiéndose en objetivos prioritarios para atacantes. Este tipo de incidentes recuerdan varias cosas fundamentales: • La seguridad en DeFi no termina con una auditoría. • Los bridges siguen siendo una de las mayores superficies de ataque. • La monitorización en tiempo real y la respuesta rápida son críticas. • Los usuarios deben evitar mover fondos cuando existe sospecha de exploit. Hasta que haya confirmación oficial: ✅ evitar usar el bridge afectado ✅ esperar comunicados oficiales ✅ verificar movimientos on-chain y fuentes reputadas La transparencia y la velocidad de comunicación serán claves para mantener la confianza de la comunidad. #Crypto #DeFi #Ethereum #Security #Web3 #Blockchain #Verus #Hack #BridgeExploit

@HiRuleLabs Look, I'm done playing nice with bounty programs that don't pay and protocols that ignore real threats. So here's 514 ETH (~$1.7M) walking out the door through a sophisticated bridge exploit on @base , complete with a novel obfuscation technique. Maybe if I just dump it publicly, someone will actually give a damn. The Attack Timeline June 25-27, 2025 - While everyone was sleeping, attackers extracted 514.54 ETH through carefully orchestrated transactions: Phase 1: The Heist (June 26) Transaction Hash Value (ETH) Time 97b8b4d443a12faafb9f8f84459947181fba75e34795150b4fc51e45c346f33c 30.196999 21:46:38 3359d1cbc2c23e5623d87ea0c506a6fa4fb19c79bbc751d937a81419bbe87035 30.196999 21:46:37 416fc1bc5eb01914679ea5475f2a9c8f5906df9f5276c8017840d61aef2eb433 30.193999 21:46:36 152b2bdfb14f9c0047a811f13fe1583703f13448d8d7c5b51d87f927e44112d3 15.2 21:36:12 ...and dozens more in 15-30 ETH chunks Primary Attacker: 0x3304E22D[REDACTED] Receiving Address: 0x36e7C3d[REDACTED] Total Stolen: 514.54 ETH Phase 2: The Cover-Up (June 25-27) Then came the really interesting part - 868 zero-value transactions, all containing the same input data: aFT From Address Input Data Value Result 0x4f55DE9[REDACTED] aFT 0 Noise 0x0F5ab44[REDACTED] aFT 0 More noise 0x0E17C7B[REDACTED] aFT 0 Even more noise [...865 more transactions just like this...] The "aFT" Innovation Here's what makes me laugh (or cry): These attackers are using "AFT" - Account Funding Transaction terminology from the traditional payment card industry. It's like robbing a bank while wearing a "Bank Inspector" badge.... IF you dont know, AFTs are legitimate transaction types used for: Cryptocurrency purchases, Digital wallet funding, Money transfers By marking their transactions as "aFT", they're essentially hiding in plain sight, making their bridge exploit look like normal account funding activity.
