Midnight Foundation (@midnightfdn): Update on Wanchain Cardano<>BNB bridge incident:

Estimated coin impact

Scores are not price-change percentages. High impact means a score of +70 or more, or -70 or less.

Update on Wanchain Cardano<>BNB bridge incident: Since our last update, we've been coordinating closely with our exchange partners on a wider industry response to contain the impact of the attack. A number of exchanges, including KuCoin, Kraken, Binance, Bybit, OKX, Gate and MEXC, have acted swiftly to implement precautionary measures and restrict the movement of the stolen assets. These measures include temporarily freezing accounts and addresses associated with the incident, blacklisting wallets linked to the attacker, and suspending NIGHT deposits and withdrawals where appropriate. This coordinated response significantly reduces the attacker's ability to move or liquidate the stolen funds. The security and integrity of the Midnight ecosystem remains our highest priority. Our exchange partners have confirmed this is an isolated third-party bridge incident, not an issue with the @MidnightNtwrk or the NIGHT asset itself. We're continuing to work directly with exchanges and our ecosystem partners to investigate the incident, and will provide further updates as soon as relevant information becomes available. We encourage the community to follow official guidance and to remain cautious of unverified information circulating during this period.
