Mars Finance reported on May 15th that THORChain issued an announcement confirming an attack on an Asgard vault, and trading has been suspended. Initial indications suggest user funds are safe, and only the protocol's own funds were affected. THORChain stated that the network automatically detected abnormal behavior and suspended signing activities, thus preventing further fund transfers. The estimated loss is approximately $10.7 million. The announcement stated that one of the six Asgard vaults was suspected of being compromised, and the relevant node has triggered the RUNE staking penalty mechanism due to unauthorized transfers. Churn activity is currently suspended on the network, and new connections and related operations will be delayed until the investigation and remediation are completed. THORChain stated that preliminary investigations show that individual user exchange transactions were not affected, and all node operators have been instructed to immediately check their infrastructure, key management system, and operating environment for any anomalies.
