June 22: Cybersecurity firm Blockaid states it has detected an attack on Taiko’s ERC20 Vault on Ethereum, leading to losses exceeding $1 million. Preliminary analysis shows the vulnerability originates from a flaw in Taiko’s cross-chain bridge source-signal proof verification mechanism. The attacker submitted a custom-crafted message proof that was accepted by the Ethereum mainnet—even though it had no matching legitimate MessageSent event on the Taiko chain. This gap allowed the attacker to register and exploit a forged cross-chain message, ultimately resulting in the unauthorized withdrawal of assets from the ERC20 Vault.

But the Iranian delegation refused to resume talks after threatening remarks from former President Donald Trump. Still, Qatar and Pakistan are actively mediating, shuttling messages between the Iranian and U.S. sides via intermediaries. Mediation efforts remain ongoing, and no final outcome has been reached. During the talks, the Iranian side strongly protested the U.S.’s violation of its commitments—especially the breach of the first clause of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
