Poly Network suspected of being hacked, issuing a large amount of assets

ChainCatcher news, according to PeckShield monitoring, the cross-chain interoperability protocol Poly Network is suspected to have been hacked. The hacker increased the issuance of assets across multiple chains through Poly, affecting dozens of assets, including the issuance of 99,999,184 BNB and 10 billion BUSD on Metis, 999.8127T SHIB, 87,579,118 COW, and 999,998,434 OOE on Heco, 636,643,868 STACK, 88,640,563 GM, and 2,175,053 03 on Polygon, 378,028371 STACK, 82,854,568 XTM, and 11,026,341 SPAY on Ethereum, 89,383,712 GM on Avalanche, and 8,882,911 METIS, 926,160,132 DOV, 978,102,855 SLD and other assets on BSC.

Currently, the hacker has profited by selling some of the increased assets. It is worth noting that PolyNetwork has insufficient liquidity, and the large amounts of BNB and BUSD should not be able to cross-chain out.

Previously, it was reported that PolyNetwork suffered a theft of over 600 million USD, becoming the largest theft case in DeFi history, with the hacker later returning the funds. (Source link)
