Aethir stops bridge hack, limits loss to under $90K, plans compensation after $400K exploit report

Aethir, a decentralized GPU cloud platform, halted an exploit on its Ethereum bridge contracts, limiting losses to under $90,000 despite PeckShield estimating $400,000 in damages. The team disconnected compromised contracts and worked with exchanges like Binance and Upbit to blacklist attacker wallets. Aethir confirmed its main ATH supply on Ethereum remains unaffected and will announce a compensation plan soon. This incident highlights ongoing risks in DeFi, where hackers stole nearly $170 million in Q1 2026.
