Verus posted on the X platform confirming that the Verus-Ethereum cross-chain bridge has been attacked, with ETH, USDC, and tBTC stolen from the Ethereum chain contracts. Currently, other bridged assets have not been affected. The Verus network has now suspended operations, and most block-producing nodes have proactively gone offline after experiencing the impact of the attack. The development team is working hard to investigate the scope of the incident, the attack path, and subsequent handling plans, and will announce progress after confirming more information.
Verus stated that it is willing to cooperate with relevant law enforcement agencies to pursue legal responsibility; however, if the attacker returns the full amount of funds, the project team is willing to offer a bug bounty and will not pursue further accountability. Verus also reminds anyone claiming to be a member of the Verus team or community in public channels, private messages, or other channels and offering "compensation" or "reimbursement plans" to be scammers. The official emphasizes not to interact with anyone claiming to have compensation projects or offering reimbursement, and to report relevant accounts to Discord or the X platform in a timely manner.
Previously, the Verus Ethereum cross-chain bridge was attacked, resulting in a loss of approximately $11.58 million.
