Attacked Project 3️⃣:
@VerusCoin was exploited again (the previous attack occurred in May this year), resulting in losses of approximately $7.56 million.
The attacker exploited a vulnerability in the cross-chain bridge verification logic (Merkle Proof Verification), successfully injecting forged cross-chain transfer data into the bridge and draining all assets from the liquidity pool.

reply Our defenses did their job. The bridge's daily limits slowed the drain, our Security Council paused the bridge and vault within hours, and no further funds could move. From there we focused on making users whole and bringing the chain back safely.

Verus–Ethereum Bridge Suffers Second Exploit in Two Months, $7.54M Drained
Blockaid detected a new exploit targeting the Verus–Ethereum Bridge, with an attacker abusing the bridge’s import path to trigger unbacked Ethereum-side payouts and drain approximately $7.54 million in ETH, tBTC, USDC, USDT, EURC, MKR and scrvUSD. The stolen assets were subsequently converted into ETH.
Blockaid said the latest attack involved the same bridge contract, entry path and vulnerability class as the approximately $11.5 million exploit in May, but was carried out by a different attacker using a new wallet. During the previous incident on May 18, the stolen assets were converted into approximately 5,402.4 ETH. The attacker later returned 4,052.4 ETH after retaining a 25% white-hat bounty, and the returned funds were redeposited into the bridge on July 8.
