Cysic suspended its cross-chain bridge after an attacker reportedly minted 10 million unauthorized CYS tokens. The attacker allegedly exploited bridge processing weaknesses after gaining unauthorized access to a supporting database system. Cysic blacklisted an address holding approximately 2.8 million CYS, restricting further transfers from that wallet. The project said its mainnet remained unaffected and existing customer wallet assets were not stolen.
