Hyperbridge Halts Frontend Cross-Chain Services as DOT-Related Probe Continues
Hyperbridge has paused all cross-chain operations through its frontend while it investigates a suspected attack involving DOT tokens, according to ME News. In a post dated April 13 (UTC+8), the blockchain interoperability protocol said it is taking emergency steps to contain the incident. The team also urged partners to suspend external transactions, issue user warnings, and stay on high alert where appropriate.
Polkadot said the issue is limited to DOT bridged to Ethereum via Hyperbridge. DOT held within the Polkadot ecosystem and DOT moved through other cross-chain routes are not affected. Polkadot, its parachains, and native DOT remain secure. (Source: Foresight News)
