We want to begin by sincerely apologizing to every user affected by the recent incident. We understand that many of you entrusted us with your assets, and we deeply regret the impact this incident has had on you. Protecting our users is our responsibility, and we take that responsibility seriously. The stolen funds have begun moving on-chain. Together with our security partners, we are actively tracking the flow of funds, sharing intelligence, and supporting ongoing response efforts. Current movement patterns are consistent with the independent attribution linking this exploit to UNC4899 / TraderTraitor. Our investigation report has now been published, and a structured recovery plan for affected users is being finalized. We are committed to communicating openly and will continue providing updates as our investigation and recovery efforts progress. We’re grateful to @blockaid_ , @chainalysis, @SlowMist_Team, @tayvano_ , @zeroshadow_io, and everyone contributing to fund tracing, incident response, and strengthening the security of the broader crypto ecosystem.
zeroShadow, in collaboration with @_SEAL_Org, have identified that the recent AFX Bridge Exploit is highly likely linked to UNC4899 (North Korean subgroup TraderTraitor). Through extensive on-chain analysis, a link has been identified between the gas funding of this exploit to that of the recent KelpDAO exploit. A number of data points were also identified, which are consistent with this threat actor and recent exploits. zeroShadow will continue supporting this research and sharing known illicit address information to help stop the movement of these funds.

The next generation of crypto attacks won't necessarily start on-chain. They may start with a developer, a trusted tool, or a software supply chain. Today, we're publishing our investigation into the recent AFX bridge incident, including the verified attack timeline, what happened, what we learned, and why we're sharing it publicly. We hope these lessons help other builders strengthen their own security practices. A recovery plan for affected users is currently being finalized and will be shared separately.

Initial findings indicate AFX was targeted by a coordinated social-engineering and infrastructure-compromise campaign. The attacker appears to have gained access through a development environment, then escalated into internal build infrastructure and validator systems. Our priority is protecting affected users. We are verifying impacted balances, pursuing fund recovery, and preparing a structured remediation plan. We will share more details, evidence, and indicators of compromise as the forensic review progresses, so other protocols can identify similar risks and strengthen their own defenses. AFX

We are continuing to work closely with leading blockchain security partners as the investigation progresses. According to SlowMist, the stolen funds remain in the attacker's address and have been reported to the Crypto Defense Alliance (CDA), a collaborative network that includes multiple exchanges and ecosystem partners. The address is being actively monitored across the ecosystem. In parallel, Zellic, the security firm that audited the bridge code, has also been engaged and is assisting with the ongoing investigation. We appreciate the support from our security partners and the broader Web3 community. We remain committed to providing transparent updates as more verified information becomes available.

AFX is aware of an incident involving the AFX-operated USDC custody bridge on Arbitrum. Upon detecting the incident, we immediately suspended bridge operations and initiated our incident response procedures. Our engineering and security teams are actively investigating the root cause in collaboration with leading blockchain security partners. Based on our current assessment, the incident appears to be isolated to the AFX-operated custody bridge. The AFX trading infrastructure, mainnet, and the Arbitrum network itself have not been compromised. The investigation into the exact attack vector remains ongoing. We are working with ecosystem partners, security firms, and relevant parties to trace the stolen assets, and assess the full impact. We are committed to complete transparency and will continue providing updates as more verified information becomes available.

Ondo flipped the switch on tokenized-stock collateral — SPYon & QQQon now margin perps directly. Equities, onchain, 24/7, self-custodial. RWAs belong onchain. So do the perps built on them. If that's the direction you're trading, $ONDOUSDC lives on AFX, the same first principles: onchain execution, deep liquidity, your keys. 👉 app.afx.xyz/trade/ONDOUSDC
