Ankr's Ethereum bridge lost $303K in a hack exploiting cross-chain withdrawals without KYC.

Ankr's Ethereum cross-chain bridge was exploited on Nov. 9, resulting in unauthorized withdrawals totaling over $303,000. The attacker reused a small deposit from the Optimism network to withdraw five different tokens, including Ankr's liquid staking assets and native ANKR tokens. The breach exposed potential flaws in the bridge's transaction verification and authorization process, as the attacker managed to bypass security checks. Ankr has not yet responded to inquiries about the incident, its impact on users, or any reimbursement plans, leaving uncertainty about the broader implications for its services and infrastructure.

Despite the recent exploit impacting Ankr's bridge, ANKR tokens on Pluang are trading at Rp69 as of Nov 09, 2026 17:31 WIB, down 1.78% in the last day. The market cap stands at Rp691.61 million with a 24-hour trading volume of Rp117.98 million. This price level contrasts with the full circulating supply of 10 billion ANKR tokens, indicating a broad distribution among holders.
