🚨 Case Analysis | GriffinAI Lost $3 Million Due to Cross-Chain Bridge Configuration Error and Private Key Leakage
💸 Incident Brief
In September, the AI protocol GriffinAI encountered a complex attack. The attacker exploited the misconfiguration of its LayerZero cross-chain bridge and the leakage of private keys from core contracts on the BSC chain, bypassing verification to mint 5 billion GAIN tokens out of thin air on BSC and sold part to profit approximately $3 million.
🔍 Attack Chain Review
Entry: The project party's token contract private key on BSC was leaked.
Exploitation: The LayerZero cross-chain bridge used by the project had a permission vulnerability in its configuration.
Attack: The attacker used the private key to deploy a malicious contract on Ethereum, sending forged cross-chain messages to BSC, triggering illegal minting.
Monetization: Sold fake tokens for cash on PancakeSwap.
💡 Core Warnings
Security is a chain: A single private key leak combined with a configuration error is enough to destroy the entire protocol.
Audits require full coverage: Security audits must cover smart contracts, private key management processes, and the configuration of all third-party components (such as cross-chain bridges) simultaneously.
Monitor minting behavior: For any contract with minting capabilities, real-time alerts for large minting events must be set up.
