Cysic suspended its cross-chain bridge after an attacker exploited a processing flaw to mint 10 million unauthorized CYS tokens on the BNB Smart Chain on October 17. The attacker accessed a supporting database and manipulated bridge message processing to create the tokens. Cysic blacklisted a wallet holding 2.8 million of these tokens to prevent further transfers and confirmed that its mainnet and customer wallets were unaffected. Investigations are ongoing to trace token movements and assess financial losses, with a detailed security report expected later.
