⚠️ AFX Trade just lost $24.15M in a bridge exploit, nearly wiping out its entire treasury in one shot.
Sounds like a smart contract failure.
But here's the twist: security firms confirmed the code did exactly what it was designed to do. The failure was compromised private validator keys, not a bug in the contract.
The attacker then immediately swapped the stolen USDC into 12,467 ETH, meaning some of today's ETH buying pressure is literally stolen money looking for a place to sit. This is also just one of three separate exploits draining $35M total across different protocols within hours of each other today.
If the code keeps working perfectly and it's the humans holding the keys that keep failing, is "smart contract security" even solving the real problem? 👀
Not financial advice. DYOR.
