Cyvers Alerts, specializing in blockchain safety, said that a suspicious address took control of Force Bridge. As a result of an attack on the bridge, the attacker brought crypto acts by $ 3 million from the Ethereum network and $ 800,000 from the BNB Chain.
Another company Hacken, working in the field of security, said that the exploit occurred after several unsuccessful attempts by the hacker to hack the system that he made within six hours. And yet, the attacker managed to perform a test violation, which first brought him only $ 25. Then he produced a full -scale exploit and successfully brought 874 BNB, which at that time cost $ 572,000. Hacken noted that at first the stolen funds were distributed between recently created addresses. Then the assets were quickly redirected to Tornado Cash and Fixedfloat cryptomixes to “cover tracks”.
Hacken specialists noted that access controls have become one of the most serious threats in the Web3 sector. The consequences of the attack could be softened by monitoring tools of suspicious transactions in real time. This would allow to detect anomalous activity and prevent exploit.
The Force Bridge bridge plays an important role in the implementation of the Nervos Network multilayer concept. The service allows you to transmit ethers, tokens of the ERC-20 standard and non-replaced tokens (NFT) between Nervos Network and Ethereum blockchains and Binance Smart Chain.
In May, hackers hacked the decentralized Cetus exchange, working on the SUI blockchain, and stole assets of $ 223 million in it. The leadership of the platform intends to fully compensate for customer losses.
