Incident Overview
THORChain nodes have responded and isolated defenses. The capital loss caused by this attack was US$140,000, but THORChain stated that user funds will not be affected. The fund pool will be used to make up for the leaked funds. The team stated that the path of the attack was that EthBifrost had a logical error in processing the same symbol as ETH.
