Aethir Contains Bridge Hack While Losses Stay Below $90K

Aethir confirmed that it successfully contained an attack on its ATH bridge contracts, keeping user losses below $90,000. The exploit did not affect the main ATH supply on Ethereum, and affected contracts were disconnected to prevent further damage. A full compensation plan will be shared next week. Exchanges like Binance, Upbit, and Bithumb blacklisted identified wallets tied to the incident. PeckShield initially estimated higher losses, but Aethir’s latest figure is under $90,000. Crypto security breaches continue to impact the market, with PeckShield reporting $52 million in losses from 20 incidents in March. Exploits can spread stress across DeFi platforms, leading to liquidity issues and strained lending markets. Recent examples include ResolvLabs and Venus Protocol, along with targeted attacks on individuals, such as a multimillion-dollar theft on Kraken.
