Midnight: Multiple exchanges freeze funds involved in the Wanchain cross-chain attack

PANews July 21, the Midnight Foundation updated the progress of the Wanchain Cardano↔BNB cross-chain bridge attack, saying that multiple exchanges have already stepped in to coordinate actions, including KuCoin, Kraken, Binance, Bybit, OKX, Gate, MEXC, and others. The above platforms have taken measures such as temporarily freezing relevant accounts and addresses, adding attacker-associated wallets to a blacklist, and pausing NIGHT deposits and withdrawals where appropriate, to limit the ability to transfer and cash out the stolen assets. Midnight emphasized that this is an isolated security incident involving a third-party cross-chain bridge; the @MidnightNtwrk] network itself and NIGHT assets have not been affected. The team continues to investigate with exchanges and ecosystem partners, and reminds the community to rely only on official information.
