An employee's computer being hacked can lead to millions of dollars being stolen. This signature management is as fragile as paper. Shouldn't the security assumptions of cross-chain bridges be rewritten?

CryptoWorld News: The Humanity project team responded that the H token was hit by a cross-chain attack, with approximately $36 million in assets stolen and then sold off. The team said an employee’s computer was compromised, resulting in multiple Gnosis Safe signing key leaks controlling the Hyperlane cross-chain bridge’s proxy admin. The attacker then took over the management permissions of the bridge contract, withdrew about 141 million H tokens on Ethereum, and minted approximately 200 million H tokens on the BSC chain. The project team has suspended deposits and withdrawals for the affected cross-chain bridge and is working with exchanges and law enforcement agencies to trace the stolen funds.
