THORChain released an update on the hacking incident on platform X. Preliminary evidence suggests that a node that recently joined the network may have been controlled by a malicious operator, who exploited the GG20 TSS vulnerability to obtain key information from vault participants, ultimately reconstructing the vault private key and executing unauthorized withdrawal transactions. Currently, multiple THORChain nodes have been shut down, resulting in the network being in a paused state. RUNE transfers are expected to resume in about 12 hours, but the specific situation will depend on node decisions. Functions such as trading, liquidity provider operations, and signing are still unavailable, and a full restoration of network functionality is expected to take several days. Recovery plans are under discussion and may include reducing the staking of affected nodes, as well as other remedial measures proposed by the community.

Chainalysis posted on the X platform that before the theft of THORChain, wallets suspected to be associated with the attacker had been transferring funds through Monero, Hyperliquid, and THORChain for several weeks. The attacker-associated wallets had already deposited into Hyperliquid positions via the Hyperliquid and Monero privacy bridge as early as the end of April. The funds were then exchanged for USDC and transferred to Arbitrum, and later bridged to Ethereum, with some ETH subsequently transferred to THORChain to become staked RUNE for newly added nodes, which are believed to be the source of the attack.Afterward, the attacker bridged some RUNE back to Ethereum and split it into four pathways, one of which went directly to the attacker. After being transferred through intermediate wallets, 8 ETH was sent to the final wallet receiving the stolen funds 43 minutes before the attack. The funds from the other three pathways flowed in the opposite direction. These wallets bridged ETH back to Arbitrum, deposited it into Hyperliquid, and transferred it into Monero through the same privacy bridge, with the last transaction occurring less than 5 hours before the attack began.As of Friday afternoon, the stolen funds have not yet been used, but the attacker has demonstrated their skilled cross-chain money laundering capabilities, and the Hyperliquid to Monero path may become the next move.

THORChain has announced that one Asgard vault has been attacked, and trading has been suspended. Initial signs indicate that user funds are safe, and only the protocol's own funds are affected. THORChain stated that the network automatically detected abnormal behavior and suspended signing activities to prevent further fund transfers. The estimated loss is currently around $10.7 million.The announcement mentioned that one of the six Asgard vaults is suspected to have been breached, and related nodes have triggered the RUNE staking penalty mechanism due to unauthorized transfers. The current network has suspended Churn activities, and new connections and related operations will also be postponed until the investigation and repairs are completed.THORChain stated that preliminary investigations show that users' personal exchange transactions have not been affected, and all node operators have been asked to immediately check their infrastructure, key management systems, and operating environments for any anomalies.
