Cross-chain bridge attacks + MEV bots being robbed occurred in the same week—coincidence or coordinated action?



Cross-chain bridges are the most core infrastructure for expanding the ETH ecosystem, and every security incident reminds everyone: cross-chain risks have never been reduced. Are this week's concentrated incidents a random coincidence, or are attackers acting in concert during a market downturn?

I lean towards the latter. In a bear market, hackers prefer to strike collectively because user vigilance drops, liquidity is poor, and money laundering becomes easier. The security issue of bridges is not a technical problem but an economic incentive problem— the higher the value of the bridge, the higher the returns from attacks.

If the ETH ecosystem wants to continue expanding, it must elevate the security of bridges to a position as important as Layer 2 solutions. Otherwise, each incident will repeatedly undermine user confidence.
