<![CDATA[Polkadot Bridged Token Exploited on Ethereum]]>f547e919-e455-41de-929c-60e50eff6ad8-image.png
Polkadot faced a security incident after its bridged DOT token on Ethereum was exploited. An attacker reportedly minted 1 billion tokens and immediately dumped them, causing the price to crash from around $1.22 to near zero within minutes.

Onchain data shared by Lookonchain shows the attacker converted the tokens into approximately 108 ETH, worth around $237,000. While the exploit caused disruption, it was limited to the bridged version of DOT and did not impact the main Polkadot network.
