Hedera Team Looking For Solutions
Hedera in a Twitter thread stated that attackers exploited their mainnet to shift Hedera tokens which were held by victims’ accounts. They specifically targeted accounts that were used as liquidity pools on several DEXs. This included Pangolin, SaucerSwapLabs, and HeliSwap DEX.
It added that the hackers moved stolen tokens over the Hashport Network bridge, the operators detected the activity and went to take straight actions to disable it. The Hedera team consisting of Swirldslabs, HBAR foundation and more worked together to look into the matter.
They tried to prevent the attackers to stole more tokens while Hedera turned off mainnet proxies. This helped to remove user access to the mainnet. However, the team identified the root cause of the issue and currently trying to find a solution. Read More HBAR News Here…
