📊 Verus–Ethereum Bridge Exploited for Over $11M
A cross-chain bridge between Verus and Ethereum was attacked for more than $11 million. Blockaid noted that the issue resembled past bridge exploits like Wormhole and Nomad, stemming from verification failures in matching source-chain parameters with Ethereum-side payment data. The problem could potentially be fixed with roughly 10 lines of code. Following the incident, some Verus block-producing nodes went offline, briefly halting block production.
