Root-cause analysis not yet published. The incident description below contains all currently available signal — review the attack transaction directly for definitive forensics.
In a tweet, @0xCrumbs disclosed that Dogechain was hacked yesterday, and the attackers exploited the vulnerability to mint 9.7 million $Doge (about $600,000) and transfer $316,000 through a cross-chain bridge. Currently 3 million remain in the starting wallet, in addition to $100,000 worth of USDC/ETH. Therefore, @0xCrumbs believes that yesterday's Dogechain maintenance was caused by the attack. SlowMist also tweeted that the attackers used Anyswap to bridge funds to the BSC and ETH chains, which were then transferred to Binance. But Dogechain officials tweeted that no funds were lost during the maintenance period. Attack method (per SlowMist): Contract Vulnerability. Reported loss: $ 600,000.
