A decentralized finance (DeFi) cross-chain bridging protocol Poly Network recently announced that it has suffered an attack in which the hacker stole over $600 million across three blockchains.
The cross-chain interoperability network flagged the attacker’s addresses on Twitter, which revealed the extent of a massive exploit, urging miners of the affected blockchains and crypto exchanges to blacklist tokens coming from the hacker.
Historical heist
The combined value of stolen crypto exceeds $600 million on three blockchains, totaling roughly $273M on Ethereum, approximately $253M on Binance Smart Chain, and close to 85M on Polygon.
