Gravity Bridge Suffers $5.4 Million Theft Incident
- Security Breach Uncovered: Onchain analyst Specter reported that the Gravity Bridge contract key may have been compromised, resulting in the theft of approximately $5.4 million, prompting validators to halt operations for investigation.
- Details of Asset Loss: The stolen assets include around $4.3 million in USDC, 274 Wrapped Ether (WETH), $434,000 in USDt (USDT), and 14.164 PAX Gold (PAXG) tokens worth about $64,000, highlighting the severity of the incident.
- Money Laundering Activities Confirmed: Security firm PeckShield confirmed that a portion of the stolen funds has already been laundered through instant-swap service ChangeNow and Binance, with the theft wallet still holding around 2,102 ETH valued at approximately $4.23 million, indicating ongoing exploitation of these assets.
