Syscoin released a bridge security incident report, disclosing details of the UTXO-to-NEVM bridge vulnerability incident, which reportedly led to approximately 5 billion SYS being unauthorizedly released on the UTXO side. The related funds have since been returned to the official recovery address and destroyed through the standard OP_RETURN method, making them unusable by the protocol again. The on-chain reported SYS supply has been restored to the expected value, and the bridge function remains suspended while the team completes the final review and fixes.Syscoin pointed out that it will fix the cross-layer parsing defects. The core lesson from this incident is that cross-layer systems must uniformly standardize data processing, and any ambiguous bridge proof should be considered a default failure.

Syscoin released a bridge security incident report, disclosing details of the UTXO-to-NEVM bridging vulnerability incident. It is reported that this incident led to approximately 5 billion SYS being unauthorizedly released on the UTXO side. The related funds have since been returned to the official recovery address and destroyed through the standard OP_RETURN method, making them unusable by the protocol again, and the on-chain reported SYS supply has been restored to the expected value. The bridging function is currently still suspended, and the team is completing the final review and repair.

Syscoin posted on platform X to provide the community with a preliminary update regarding the recent cross-chain bridge security incident involving 5 billion SYS tokens. The bridging service has been suspended, and the team is investigating and fixing the validation issues. The attacker exploited a validation vulnerability in the cross-chain bridge process to create unauthorized SYS outputs on the UTXO side.The affected funds have been transferred and split, and the team is tracking and coordinating with exchanges and ecosystem partners to prevent the contaminated UTXOs from being deposited, traded, or further distributed. The team has identified a fix and advises users not to interact with the cross-chain bridge until it is restored.
