Hackers exploited a vulnerability in the Verus Ethereum bridge, draining about $11.58 million in digital assets including tBTC, ETH, and USDC. The attacker used Tornado Cash to fund their wallet before the hack and quickly swapped stolen funds into ETH. Security firms suggest the exploit involved flaws in transaction validation and access controls, common risks in cross-chain bridges. This incident highlights ongoing security challenges in DeFi, especially for bridges managing large liquidity pools.
