ME News Report, April 13 (UTC+8), according to PeckShield monitoring, 1 billion DOT tokens were anomalously minted and sold on the Ethereum chain. On-chain data shows that about an hour ago, the attacker manipulated the admin permissions, transferred contract control to a malicious address, then minted 1 billion DOT and immediately sold, causing the token price to plummet from $1.22 to nearly zero. The incident is still developing, and Polkadot’s official response has not yet been issued. The attack targeted bridged assets on Ethereum, not the Polkadot native chain. (Source: ChainCatcher)
