An attacker exploited the $DOT bridge on Ethereum, minting 1 BILLION fake tokens and dumping them in a single transaction. But here’s the brutal part: they only managed to withdraw around 108.2 ETH ($237K–$250K) because there wasn’t enough liquidity to extract more. This was not a hack of native DOT or the Polkadot network. It was another reminder that in crypto, the weakest link is often not the blockchain itself—but the bridge. How many more bridge exploits must occur before the market fully understands where the real risk lies? The “unhackable” bridge was hacked. 💀 Still, credit to @gavofyork for building Polkadot as a remarkably secure blockchain.
