Taiko’s ERC20 Vault on Ethereum was attacked, with losses exceeding $1 million, according to Blockaid monitoring. According to ChainCatcher, Blockaid said the root cause was a defect in the verification of source-signal proofs in Taiko’s cross-chain bridge.

Blockaid reported that a crafted message proof was accepted as valid on Ethereum L1 without a corresponding legitimate MessageSent event on Taiko’s source chain. This allowed an attacker to register and withdraw fraudulent cross-chain messages, leading to the unauthorized release of assets from the ERC20 Vault.
