🚨 SECURITY INCIDENT: TRUEBIT PROTOCOL EXPLOITED



Truebit Protocol has suffered a major exploit, with attackers draining approximately $26.5 million from the platform. Following the breach, the perpetrators transferred around 8.5K ETH across multiple wallets, creating a clear trail of fund movement.

The aftermath was severe—TRU token collapsed by roughly 100%, wiping out investor value almost entirely.

What's particularly concerning is the pattern: this appears to be connected to the same attacker who targeted Sparkle Protocol approximately 12 days prior. The recurring nature of these exploits raises serious questions about vulnerability patterns in emerging DeFi protocols and the sophistication of cross-protocol attacks.

For users holding positions in emerging Layer 2 solutions and verification protocols, this serves as a stark reminder about the ongoing security risks in the ecosystem.

Another Layer2 protocol gets exploited, this time directly crashing to zero... The same hacker strikes again and again, their methods are really ruthless. --- 26.5M gone, TRU wiped out, it feels like this wave really can't be recovered. --- Continuous cross-protocol attacks... it shows that the vulnerabilities in our ecosystem are indeed not minor issues. --- Again and again, when will it finally stop... Do these new protocols really skip security audits before launch? --- Looking at this situation, maybe Sparkle was also done by this guy? Systemic risks really need to be taken seriously. --- TRU was directly wiped out, investors left with nothing. Didn't they have any safeguards in place? That's truly outrageous. --- Why is it always emerging protocols that get caught in these repetitive attacks? Is it just a pattern, or is there a common flaw?

Another pump was drained again, this time TRU was directly cut in half. The same group of people acting twice? Feels like the DeFi ecosystem has so many vulnerabilities that it's ridiculous. A painful lesson—small-cap tokens are really risk mines. 260 million dollars just gone like that, I can't believe it... New protocol launches = waiting to be hacked? Feeling a bit hopeless. Sparkle crashed first, and now it's back again—how do these hackers predict so accurately? Forget it, I think I'll just wait and see with these new Layer2s.

Here we go again, this time it's TrueBit... 26.5 million just gone like that, truly unbelievable --- Same hacker? This pace feels off, are they targeting certain protocols? --- TRU directly wiped out, investors' money... never mind, no need to say more --- That pile of layer2 stuff looks a bit intimidating now, who dares to touch it? --- 12 days ago Sparkle, now TrueBit, is this guy treating new projects as shooting ranges? --- So the question is, is it the code or operations? Need to figure it out, or else whoever steps up will be doomed --- 8.5K ETH stolen, if on-chain privacy really worked... what a pity

Coming again? How is this guy so diligent... --- 26.5M gone, TRU reset to zero, where's the promised audit... --- The same hacker committing consecutive crimes, how lacking in security awareness is that --- L2 hasn't even become popular yet, it's already burning, hilarious --- Choosing new coins is like opening a blind box, it could explode at any time --- Transferring 8500 ETH one by one, who will chase such blatant actions --- Already said not to touch the new protocol, but still playing with high yields --- DeFi audits are almost useless? This time they’re going to peel back the layers again --- Two major vulnerabilities in two weeks, truly invincible --- Token directly declared bankrupt, holders can't even cry properly
