Hacker mints $46B fake syBTC on Symbiosis bridge, cashes out $336K only

A hacker exploited a vulnerability in Symbiosis's BridgeV2 protocol to mint $46 billion in unbacked synthetic bitcoin (syBTC) tokens but only managed to cash out about $336,000. Symbiosis confirmed the breach, halted BTC routes, and offered a white-hat bounty to recover funds. This incident highlights ongoing security challenges in cross-chain bridges, critical infrastructure for DeFi, raising concerns about systemic risks and trust in synthetic asset platforms. The next steps include a detailed technical post-mortem and monitoring market reactions to assess confidence in bridge-dependent projects.
