Well, the Bedrock protocol hacking story is something else. Let's take it step by step.
First of all, the Bedrock protocol itself is not just some platform. It is one of the key mechanisms for Bitcoin restaking, that is, transferring assets from one level of the blockchain to another to generate income. The point is that it must be as secure as possible, because big money flows there.
And here's what happened. The hackers apparently found a vulnerability in the code or in the security protocol itself related to transaction processing. They exploited it and, as they say, pulled off the deed. At first, it looked like a normal transaction, but then it turned out that they had redirected the funds - about $2 million in bitcoin - to their wallets. Let's just say it's not a small amount.
The most interesting thing is that they did it so cleverly that at first no one even noticed the leak. It was not obvious. At some point, the protocol administrators began to notice oddities: the balance did not add up, the amounts in the accounts began to disappear. And that's when they began to dig deeper.
After a thorough check, it became clear that the hackers had not simply stolen the money. They had exploited a vulnerability in the Bedrock architecture, and it was not a trivial security hole. It seemed to be an error in the logic of operations at one of the levels. The hackers managed to bypass all checks in a few transactions and withdraw funds in a way that did not look suspicious.
Naturally, this caused a big fuss. An urgent check of all data began, attempts to track the stolen funds through the blockchain. But you understand, bitcoin is an anonymous thing. Even if you can see where the money went, it is almost impossible to figure out the real owner of the wallet.
At the same time, additional data leaks began to surface. It turns out that the vulnerability in Bedrock was not the first. They had already had small leaks of user transaction information in recent months, but they somehow hushed them up, trying to fix them quietly. And now, in the wake of this major attack, the whole truth has emerged: user data, their transaction hashes and private keys - all of this could also be at risk.
As a result, the community that actively used Bedrock began to panic. People began to withdraw assets en masse, afraid of losing their funds. Of course, the platform promised to look into the matter and return the money if possible, but, frankly speaking, the reputation was seriously damaged.
While the investigation is ongoing, the stolen money has apparently already been scattered across different wallets, making it difficult to track.
