Cysic suspended its bridge after an attacker minted 10 million CYS tokens without authorization. Reuters reported that the attacker managed to bridge approximately $727,000 in proceeds to Ethereum using multiple platforms including Mayan, deBridge, and SWFT.
The security breach necessitated an immediate suspension of bridge services to prevent further drainage after a vulnerability allowed an unauthorized entity to mint a large supply of native tokens. Such exploits typically damage trust in the protocol and create significant sell pressure.
