Blockchain interoperability protocol Hyperbridge has announced that it is implementing emergency measures to address an attack related to DOT tokens. According to Foresight News, the team has temporarily suspended all cross-chain operations via the front end and advised partners to halt external transactions, issue warnings, and remain vigilant where necessary.

Polkadot has clarified that the vulnerability only affects DOT tokens transferred cross-chain to Ethereum via Hyperbridge. The Polkadot ecosystem's DOT, its parachains, and native DOT remain secure and unaffected by this issue.
