Within about 2 minutes and 24 seconds, five successful withdrawals occurred through the Ankr Ethereum Bridge. All went to the same recipient address, but involved different output tokens.
Ankr’s official documentation lists the bridge contract, and the five transactions can be viewed on Etherscan. Blockaid says the unusual sequence involved a small Optimism deposit triggering multiple withdrawals. This is Blockaid’s analysis, not Ankr’s confirmation of the root cause.
The evidence currently points only to the Ethereum bridge contract; it does not support inferring that RPC or personal wallets were also affected. Next, watch for the official response and postmortem. What do you think the postmortem should disclose first: the validation logic or the scope of the impact?
