Verus-Ethereum Bridge Exploit Results in $11 Million Loss

A cross-chain bridge connecting Verus and Ethereum was compromised, resulting in a loss exceeding $11 million. According to NS3.AI, Blockaid identified that the vulnerability was similar to previous bridge exploits like Wormhole and Nomad, where verification processes failed to ensure that source-chain parameters aligned with Ethereum-side payment data. Consequently, some Verus block-producing nodes went offline, temporarily halting block production.
