In a recent development, we would like to shed light on an issue that came to our attention on September 5th. This incident pertains to the operation of our bridge, and we extend our heartfelt gratitude to @anaks77 for promptly bringing it to our notice. It was a vigilant user, 0xE2588450DFa9a7b862984c215AF88853b15A60a5, who identified this exploit and took decisive action by withdrawing tokens that had become inaccessible due to the bridge’s malfunction on the Ethereum side. Upon investigation, it was revealed that the root cause lay in a smart contract malfunction, specifically linked to the contract deployment script. We are delighted to report that Space Bridge has been successfully restored to its normal functionality, and the identified vulnerability was promptly and effectively addressed.

Impacted Tokens:

The incident had repercussions on several tokens, with the following being affected:

ENX: 3,313,508.840365
LOVEYOU: 9,999.99999999
WETH: 0.03999999
DYP: 528.99999999

Swift Recovery of ENX Token:

It is with great satisfaction that we announce the complete restoration of the ENX token to our bridge’s storage, thanks to the unwavering dedication of our team. Regrettably, the malevolent actor behind this incident wasted no time in swapping the stolen ENX tokens, amassing a total of $248.71 from the 3.3 million ENX tokens. As of now, a substantial portion of these tokens is suspected to be held within the wallet of a MEVbot. Rest assured, we are actively devising a comprehensive plan to execute the necessary arbitrage to recover and return these tokens to our valued community.

Our Sincere Apologies:

We deeply regret any inconvenience caused by this incident and wish to convey our sincere apologies to the community. It is our top priority to assure you that we are tirelessly working towards enhancing the security of our bridge to prevent such incidents in the future. Your understanding and continued support are invaluable to us as we navigate through this challenge.

Conclusion:

In the face of adversity, our commitment to the security and integrity of our platform remains unwavering. We express our heartfelt appreciation for your trust and continued support as we strive to strengthen the foundation of the Space Bridge for the benefit of our entire community.
