Multichain warned users to refrain from using its services following a $126 million asset outflow involving significant multi-chain assets.
, cross-chain bridge platform Multichain has warned its users to refrain from using its services. The outflow involved a significant number of crypto assets moving to various third-party wallets from Multichain’s bridge deployments on Fantom and Dogechain.: “The Multichain service has currently stopped, and all bridge transactions will remain stuck on the source chains. There is no confirmed resumption time. Please refrain from using the Multichain bridging service for now.
This abrupt interruption in service follows an unsettling incident where $126 million worth of assets were mysteriously transferred from the bridge platform to unknown wallets, as by security firm PeckShield. These assets were largely withdrawn on Fantom, with a smaller amount withdrawn on Dogechain.that the asset outflows could indicate that the attacker might have access to private key shards controlling Multichain’s multi-party computation wallet. This was based on the fact that the asset transfer process lasted an extended period and involved a test transfer of $2 in stablecoins before the significant outflows.
Furthermore, each type of crypto asset taken from Multichain was transferred to separate wallets, with no subsequent activity detected in these wallets. According to Zeng, this situation could indicate the possibility of the involvement of a white hat hacker. In the context of crypto security, a whitehat is an ethical expert who uses their skills to save funds rather than exploit them for malicious purposes. However, this interpretation remains an unsubstantiated conjecture at this time.
. This statement implied that the crisis would primarily impact only the wrapped assets facilitated by Multichain’s bridging service and not directly linked to the Fantom team.
