Shibarium cross-chain bridge遭遇闪电贷攻击，损失240万美元。

ChainCatcher news, the Shibarium cross-chain bridge connecting the layer two network Shibarium with Ethereum was hit by a flash loan attack on Friday, resulting in the theft of approximately $2.4 million worth of ETH and SHIB. Following the incident, Shiba Inu developers restricted certain activities on the network.

The attacker borrowed 4.6 million BONE (the governance token of Shibarium) through a flash loan and allegedly obtained 10 out of 12 validator signing keys, thereby gaining two-thirds majority control. Subsequently, the attacker used this privilege to withdraw approximately 224.57 ETH and 92.6 billion SHIB from the Shibarium cross-chain bridge contract, transferring the funds to their personal address. These funds are valued at around $2.4 million at current prices.

In response, Shiba Inu developers suspended the staking and unstaking functions on the network, effectively freezing the BONE borrowed by the attacker through the flash loan (these tokens already had an unstaking delay mechanism), thus cutting off their majority control. The attacker also ended up holding a large amount of K9 Finance-related KNINE tokens, valued at approximately $700,000. However, when the attacker attempted to sell KNINE, the K9 Finance DAO intervened, blacklisting their address and preventing the sale of these tokens.
