PANews reported on June 8th that Syscoin issued an update on its X platform regarding a recent cross-chain bridge security incident involving 5 billion SYS tokens. The bridging service is currently suspended, and the team is investigating and fixing the verification issue. Attackers exploited a verification vulnerability in the cross-chain bridge process to create unauthorized SYS outputs on the UTXO side. Affected funds have been transferred and split, and the team is tracking them and coordinating with exchanges and ecosystem partners to prevent the contaminated UTXOs from being deposited, traded, or further distributed. The team has determined a remediation plan and advises users not to interact with the cross-chain bridge until it is restored.
