ME News alert: On April 10 (UTC+8), according to official information, Aethir announced today that the team has monitored and successfully contained a malicious attack on the ATH token cross-chain bridge contract. After the incident, all affected contracts were quickly disconnected, and the related vulnerabilities have been effectively brought under control. The official statement said that the core supply of the ATH token on the Ethereum mainnet remains complete and is unaffected, and that the ETH-ARB cross-chain bridge on Squid was also not impacted.

Aethir said that the overall impact of this security incident on users was relatively limited, with total losses of less than $90,000. Aethir stated that a complete compensation plan will be released next week, and that it is currently actively working with multiple exchanges and law enforcement agencies to advance the freezing of relevant funds and the tracking of the attackers.

Aethir emphasized that it will remain fully transparent throughout and will continue to provide the community with updates on the incident’s progress. As further monitoring of the relevant funds continues, a complete list of attacker wallets will be published through the official Discord community, and a detailed report will also be released to disclose the incident timeline, the scope of affected users, and the compensation mechanism.

Aethir said that everything is currently operating normally on the platform, and thanked the community for the patience, trust, and ongoing support it demonstrated during the incident. (Source: BlockBeats)
