An attacker stole $5.25 million from the Hedera network by exploiting a vulnerability that allowed bridging assets to Ethereum using LayerZero technology. The stolen funds were then laundered through Tornado Cash, a privacy mixing service, making recovery difficult. This incident follows previous Hedera security issues and comes shortly after the launch of the first US spot HBAR ETF, potentially impacting investor confidence. Investigations are ongoing to identify the exact exploit used and prevent future breaches.
