🚨 Adshares Cross-Chain Bridge Attacker Returns Stolen Funds 🚨
The attacker behind the Adshares Cross-Chain Bridge exploit has reportedly returned a portion of the stolen funds.
Earlier reports revealed that the hacker exploited a bridge validation vulnerability to mint fake wADS tokens and dump them into Ethereum liquidity pools, causing losses of around $628K.
Following the incident, the Adshares team strengthened bridge security measures and began recovery efforts. Recent updates now suggest that part of the stolen assets has been sent back by the attacker — a move sometimes seen in “white-hat style” crypto exploits.
🔹 Cross-chain bridges remain one of the biggest security risks in the DeFi ecosystem.
🔹 Bridge exploits have caused hundreds of millions of dollars in losses across crypto projects in recent years.
