Echo Protocol, a decentralized finance platform, suffered a security breach on May 18 when an attacker compromised an administrative key on its Monad network deployment. The attacker minted 1,000 fake eBTC tokens worth $76.7 million, but low liquidity limited actual losses to $816,000. The protocol has paused the Monad bridge, regained control of the admin key, and is upgrading its security measures to prevent future incidents. The Monad blockchain core remains secure, and the lending protocol Curvance also paused affected markets to contain damage.
