As a seasoned crypto investor who has been through multiple bull and bear markets, I’ve learned to always prioritize the security of my investments over anything else. The recent discovery by CertiK of a serious exploit on the Alex protocol bridge is a stark reminder of the risks inherent in this space.
A significant security issue has been identified by CertiK, a leading blockchain security company, on the Alex protocol bridge. This vulnerability is suspected to be the cause of unauthorized withdrawals totaling approximately $4.3 million. The incident occurred immediately following the first contract upgrade for the protocol.
#Alert 🚨
— CertiK Alert (@CertiKAlert) May 14, 2024
As a crypto investor, I’ve noticed an upgrade to the bridge contract that left its endpoint address in an unreadable bytecode form. Unverified and confusing, this change made me uneasy. Consequently, around $4.3 million in assets, including Binance-Pegged Bitcoin, USD Coin, and Sugar Kingdom Odyssey tokens, were withdrawn from the BNB Smart Chain side of the bridge, out of precaution.
The Alex team has remained silent on the matter of the exploit, so they cannot be held accountable for it at this point. Simultaneously, CertiK’s security team has been vigilantly monitoring and addressing vulnerabilities within different protocols. Furthermore, other blockchain projects like Equalizer and Wormhole have recently experienced potential exploits, emphasizing the ongoing challenge of securing decentralized systems.
