Coreum XRPL Bridge Hit by 200,000 XRP Security Breach

The Coreum network recently suffered a major security breach involving its XRPL bridge. An attacker managed to walk away with nearly 200,000 XRP by exploiting a flaw in how the system handled incoming transactions.

The issue stemmed from how relayers processed data. The bridge incorrectly treated payments that an attacker made to themselves as legitimate deposits from the XRPL chain. This mistake effectively bypassed the security checks designed to protect the bridge assets.

This incident highlights the ongoing security challenges facing cross chain infrastructure. Users should remain cautious when interacting with bridges that connect different blockchain networks. Developers are currently working to address the logic flaw to prevent future exploits of this nature.
