Wanchain Bridge Exploit Leads to $9M NIGHT Token Loss

The crypto market faces another security crisis as Wanchain recently suffered an exploit on its Cardano to BNB bridge. Attackers successfully drained $9 million worth of NIGHT tokens during the incident, which occurred over a few hours. Security teams are still analyzing how the bridge architecture was compromised.

This incident is a significant addition to the massive losses seen across the industry recently. Reports indicate that total losses from hacks and scams have already climbed past $1 billion in 2026. Such events highlight the ongoing vulnerabilities in cross chain technology.

Investors should remain cautious while interacting with bridge protocols as developers work to patch these security gaps. Market participants are waiting for further updates on whether any of the stolen assets can be tracked or recovered.
