The Alephium team confirmed that blockchain security firm Blockaid was the first to detect the exploit. The Security Alliance’s SEAL_911 emergency response unit also provided assistance and responsiveness throughout the subsequent investigation. Exploit Drains $815,000 in Under 7 Minutes The attacker moved funds from the Alephium TokenBridge on both Ethereum and BNB Chain in roughly seven minutes.
