The cross-chain liquidity protocol said it did not know who deployed the affected module, distancing itself from the incident involving about $3.2 million.
Squid said it does not know who deployed the third-party module linked to a roughly $3.2 million exploit and sought to distance itself from the incident. The statement indicates the affected component was not presented as a core deployment by the protocol itself, highlighting a common risk in crypto infrastructure where third-party integrations and modular smart contract (self-executing blockchain code) systems can introduce vulnerabilities. The reported loss centers on an external module rather than a directly attributed Squid deployment, based on the company’s statement in the source.
