Reports Claim Polkadot Bridge Vulnerability Was Exploited to Mint 1 Billion DOT

The Hyperbridge exploit remains centered on reports that a vulnerability in the bridge’s Ethereum gateway let an attacker mint 1 billion unauthorized bridged DOT. The latest update says the attacker swapped the minted tokens for 108.2 ETH, worth about $237,000, broadly aligning with earlier loss estimates near $240,000. The new content also notes broader market moves, with BTC up 4.43%, ETH up 7.34%, and AAVE rising 10.05%, and says Korea’s central bank proposed crypto circuit breakers after Bithumb’s mistaken transfer of 620,000 BTC.
