⚡️🚨 ALERT - 4,000 BTC just pegged out of the Liquid bridge. The OP_RETURN says "we are whitehats. contact us on chain."
White hats don't drain a bridge and then solicit an "on-chain" contact. This echoes the Ronin hack, where attackers compromised validator keys to steal ~$625M, and the "let's talk" framing is the same move Euler's attacker used to negotiate a return after the fact.
Roughly 4,000 of 4,200 BTC associated with a Liquid Network peg-out transaction appears to have moved at once.
TXID:
c103de95817b43f2df635ec6f35ff126ca26a7c6d20570c4b01866b2b3e69a19
The nature of the transaction and whether the funds were moved through an exploit remain unclear, but it does not look good.
