Aethir Bridge Exploit Limits Loss to $90,000 Through Exchange Blacklisting
Affected users will receive a structured compensation program starting next week. The losses were limited to under $90,000 after Aethir disconnected compromised contracts following the detection of unusual activity on its bridge contracts. The breach involved the AethirOFTAdapter smart contract component. Aethir blocked attacker wallets, and Binance, Upbit, Bithumb, and HTX blacklisted flagged wallets to restrict fund movement. Total losses were limited to under $90,000.
