LiFi Protocol, a popular service for swapping and bridging cryptocurrencies across different blockchains, is reeling from a cyberattack that has seen over $8 million in crypto stolen.
According to security firm Cyvers Alerts, suspicious transactions involving a specific contract address were detected on LiFi’s platform. This triggered an immediate response, urging users to revoke their approvals for the compromised address (0x1231deb6f5749ef6ce6943a275a1d3e7486f4eae) to prevent further losses.
“Hackers can exploit these approvals to drain both assets stored in the contracts and funds in the connected wallets of users,” explained Meir Dolev, co-founder and CTO at Cyvers, in an interview with Cointelegraph.
What This Means for LiFi Users
While the full details of the attack are still emerging, LiFi users who previously interacted with the compromised contract address are at risk. Revoking approvals for this address severs its connection to your wallet and prevents further unauthorized access.
The hack is ongoing
