The Truebit network, a computational verification network, suffered a security vulnerability resulting in the theft of 8,535 ETH, with a loss amounting to $26.36 million. Four hours after the incident, hackers quickly used privacy mixing tools to transfer all stolen assets, completing a rapid cash-out process. This incident once again reminds the market that even well-known DeFi projects are difficult to fully avoid security risks. Large amounts of stolen funds rapidly flow into the market through mixing channels, reflecting the current difficulty in on-chain asset tracking—after hackers profit, they immediately take anti-money laundering measures, making subsequent recovery extremely complex. Web3 users need to evaluate platform risks more cautiously.

Another one? Really, this kind of thing happens every now and then, even a big project like Truebit couldn't escape... $26.36 million just disappeared, hackers' reflexes are ridiculously fast.

Another one? Truebit has also fallen... What does this indicate? Even big-name projects are just like this, right?

Truebit has crashed again, losing $26 million. Mixing tools are really a hacker's weapon of choice.
