๐ A security flaw can become far more dangerous when the initial risk assessment is wrong.
Cosmos Labs reportedly underestimated a critical vulnerability back in April, and the consequences became clear months later.
The flaw was eventually exploited across 6 different chains, with attackers moving around $5.7M through DEXs and centralized platforms.
What stands out to me is that the emergency response eventually reached roughly 40 networks, while 13 other exposed chains managed to patch or halt operations before attackers could exploit them.
This is a reminder that in crypto, the biggest risk is not always the bug itself.
Sometimes, itโs how long the industry takes to understand how serious that bug really is.
Security isn't just about finding vulnerabilities. It's about responding before someone else finds a way to weaponize them.
