🚀 Security Alert Issued for x402 Cross-Chain Protocol

According to PANews, a security alert has been issued by the GoPlus Chinese community regarding a potential theft involving the x402 cross-chain protocol, known as @402bridge. The creator of the contract, starting with 0xed1A, transferred ownership to the address 0x2b8F. The new owner then used the transferUserToken method within the contract to move the remaining USDC from all authorized user wallets. Before minting, users were required to authorize USDC to the @402bridge contract, which led to over 200 users losing their remaining USDC due to excessive authorization. A total of 17,693 USDC was transferred to the 0x2b8F address, which was then converted to ETH and moved through multiple cross-chain transactions to Arbitrum.

Users who participated in this project are advised to promptly revoke related authorizations. It is recommended that users verify the authorization address to ensure it is the official project address before granting permissions, authorize only the necessary amount, and avoid unlimited authorizations. Regular checks on authorizations and the cancellation of unnecessary ones are also advised.

🚀 WLFI Initiates Fund Redistribution for Users Affected by Security Breach

According to Foresight News, WLFI announced on Twitter that it will begin reallocating funds to users whose wallets were compromised due to phishing attacks or mnemonic phrase leaks. The issue originated from a third-party security vulnerability and is not related to the WLFI platform or its smart contracts. The team has frozen the affected wallets and is requiring users to complete KYC identity verification to confirm ownership. Additionally, they have developed new smart contract logic to securely facilitate the bulk redistribution of funds. Users who have completed and passed verification will soon receive their funds, while wallets of users who have not been contacted or have not completed verification will remain frozen. These users can still initiate the verification process through the WLFI Help Center.

🚀 ZeroLend Announces Gradual Shutdown After Three Years of Operation

ZeroLend, a multi-chain lending protocol, has announced its decision to gradually cease operations after three years of development and management. According to ChainCatcher, the team has faced challenges in maintaining the sustainability of the protocol in its current form.

In recent times, several chains initially supported by ZeroLend have become inactive or experienced significant liquidity declines. Additionally, some oracle providers have withdrawn their support, complicating the reliable operation of markets and the generation of sustainable revenue. As the protocol expanded, it attracted increased attention from malicious actors, including hackers and scammers. These factors, combined with the inherently low-profit and high-risk nature of lending protocols, have resulted in prolonged financial losses for ZeroLend.

The team's primary focus now is to ensure users can safely withdraw their assets. Users are strongly advised to promptly remove any remaining funds from the platform.
