Odaily Planet Daily News: Slow Mist Cosine posted on platform X, stating that the cause of the theft may be that the attacker constructed a forged Merkle proof, which passed the verification of the Verus Ethereum bridge (closed-source), thereby successfully withdrawing the funds (ETH/tBTC/USDC) from it. Further verification of the specific details is required.
