On May 19th, Echo Protocol announced it is investigating a security incident affecting its cross-chain bridge on the Monad network. All cross-chain transactions have remained suspended throughout the ongoing probe. Earlier reports from PeckShield’s monitoring indicate Echo Protocol was targeted in an attack on Monad. The attacker minted 1,000 eBTC—valued at roughly $76.7 million—and deposited 45 eBTC (~$3.45 million) into Curvance using a pre-tested process. After that, the attacker used these assets as collateral to borrow around 11.29 WBTC (approximately $867,700), bridged the WBTC to Ethereum, converted it into ETH, and ultimately transferred 384 ETH (about $821,700) to the privacy mixer Tornado Cash. SlowMist founder Cao Yin noted that Echo Protocol may have been compromised due to a leaked admin key.
