Verus-Ethereum Bridge exploit drains $11.58M as Blockaid identifies attacker wallets

Blockaid says its exploit detection system identified an ongoing attack on VerusCoin's Verus-Ethereum Bridge, with about $11.58M drained so far. The firm posted an attacker EOA, a drainer wallet that still held the funds, the exploit transaction, and the bridge contract, making this a live tracing and response problem rather than just a postmortem. Another cross-chain bridge just became the weak link, and the parked-funds detail is the thing to watch before the attacker starts laundering.
