"Multiple transactions occurred that compromised the bridge with 11 transactions that extracted tokens stored in the bridge," reads Harmony's statement.
Blockchain analytics firm Elliptic told Techcrunchthat a number of different cryptocurrency tokens were stolen as a result of the compromised bridge. According to Elliptic, Ethereum, Binance Coin, Tether, USD Coin and Dai were all part of the hackers' haul. The stolen tokens have already been converted to Ethereum by the hacker via crypto exchanges.
Harmony says it contacted the FBI as well as cybersecurity and exchange partners. Harmony also says that its Bitcoin bridge wasn't affected by the exploit.
While Harmony has not yet shared details of the exploit, Twitter user Ape Dev pointed outa weakness in the security of the bridge as early as April. According to Ape Dev, hackers only needed to gain access to two multisig private keys to authorize the transfer of funds.
