Hackers exploited the Nervos Network bridge, draining over $3 million in digital assets, including USDT, ETH, USDC, DAI, and wrapped bitcoin.
The stolen funds were laundered through Tornado Cash, a mixing service used to conceal transaction trails, complicating recovery efforts and obscuring attackers' identities.
The Nervos team paused the bridge operations and launched an investigation to trace the exploit and enhance platform security.
This incident highlights the vulnerabilities in cross-chain systems in the decentralized finance sector, emphasizing ongoing risks in interchain infrastructure.
