Onchain analyst Specter first flagged the unusual outflows in a Saturday post<\/a> on X, revealing that the bridge contract key may have been compromised. \u201cIt appears the Gravity Bridge contract key may have been compromised, resulting in the theft of $5.4M,\u201d Specter wrote.<\/p>\n

Security firm PeckShield also confirmed<\/a> the exploit in a post, breaking down the stolen assets as approximately $4.3 million in USDC (USDC), 274 Wrapped Ether (WETH) worth roughly $553,000, $434,000 in USDt (USDT) and 14.164 PAX Gold (PAXG) tokens worth about $64,000.<\/p>\n
