Crosscurve hacked, stealing $3 million

CrossCurve, a cryptocurrency protocol backed by Curve Finance (CRV) founder Michael Egorov, has suffered an attack on its cross-chain bridge, Cointelegraph reported, citing data from security firm Defimon Alerts. The outlet explained, “CrossCurve has identified a smart contract vulnerability that was exploited via X and has asked users to cease all protocol interactions while it investigates. The attack is believed to have resulted in the theft of approximately $3 million across multiple networks. The attacker appears to have exploited a vulnerability in a specific smart contract that allowed them to bypass validator procedures by sending forged cross-chain messages that then triggered token unlocks.”
