Ethereum Layer 2 Taiko Urges Users to Withdraw Funds From Bridges, Confirms Security Breach

Taiko, the Ethereum layer 2 blockchain, has urged users to withdraw their funds from all bridges deployed on the network immediately.

This follows a confirmation of a security breach involving the network’s chain state verification mechanism.

The team confirmed they are actively working with the Security Council and various ecosystem partners to contain the incident, pause the affected system wherever possible, and take both technical and legal actions.

So far, there’s no information on the amount of funds in jeopardy or if something has been stolen.

According to data from PeckShield, the exploit resulted in a loss of $1.7 million, while the attacker has already transferred 1.99 million TAIKO tokens, worth slightly less than $200K, to MEXC.
