An attacker abused Cysic's bridge to mint 10 million unbacked CYS on BNB Chain, dumping most of it for about $727,000 in ETH before the token could be blacklisted.
An attacker abused a bug in NEAR Intents' Omni cross-chain deposit and withdrawal system to drain roughly $3.8 million in USDT from a BNB Chain hot wallet.
An attacker abused a block-validation flaw in Meter to mint unbacked wrapped MTRG through the Meter Passport bridge, dumping about $2.3 million of it on PancakeSwap and crashing both MTR and MTRG.
An attacker exploited Symbiosis's BridgeV2 contract to mint about 46.1 billion unbacked synthetic Bitcoin tokens and cash out a slice for roughly $0.77 million.
An attacker submitted forged guardian VAAs to Alephium's Wormhole-fork TokenBridge, draining about $815,000 of custody assets from Ethereum and BNB Chain in roughly seven minutes.
1B bridged DOT minted on Hyperbridge after a missing bounds check in VerifyProof let an attacker forge MMR proofs; realised loss ~$2.5M.
GriffinAI, an AI-agent crypto project, lost ~$3M after a bridge/mint flaw let an attacker mint unbacked GAIN tokens and dump them, collapsing the price.
Access-control flaw drained $3.76M from Nervos's Force Bridge on Ethereum and BNB Chain; loot was swapped to ETH and routed via Tornado Cash and FixedFloat.
~$220K drained from HYPR Network after a bridge/contract flaw let an attacker extract bridged liquidity — a small but clean bridge failure.
A flawed Merkle proof verification in BSC's native bridge let the attacker forge withdrawals for 2M BNB before validators paused the chain.
Meter Passport bridge lost $4.4M when its deposit handler trusted a wrapped-token transfer amount that could be set without backing, minting bridged BNB/ETH.
An attacker tricked Qubit's BSC bridge into minting 77,162 qXETH ($185M nominal) without depositing any ETH, borrowing 206,809 BNB ($80M).
$13M+ drained from THORChain across two attacks one week apart, both exploiting fake-deposit flaws in the Bifrost Ethereum bridge weeks into Chaosnet.
Vulnerability in ChainSwap's Ethereum-BSC bridge let an attacker mint arbitrary amounts of 20+ supported tokens; $4M drained, affected tokens crashed 95%+.
Attacker detected a repeated k-value in two BSC signatures, back-calculated Anyswap V3's MPC private key, and drained $7.9M from its cross-chain router pools.
