Midnight Foundation: Wanchain Cardano BNB bridge attacked, multiple exchanges jointly freeze related assets

Midnight Foundation posted on platform X that the Wanchain Cardano BNB cross-chain bridge has experienced a security attack. Currently, several major exchanges, including KuCoin, Kraken, Binance, Bybit, OKX, and MEXC, have quickly responded by taking preventive measures to restrict the flow of stolen assets, including freezing related accounts and addresses, blacklisting the attacker’s wallet, and suspending the deposit and withdrawal services for the NIGHT token.

Exchanges have confirmed that this incident is an isolated third-party bridging vulnerability and is unrelated to the Midnight Network mainnet and the NIGHT asset itself.
