TechFlow News — According to SlowMist Security's disclosure, between 3:45 and 6:00 UTC on August 18, some users of cBridge were redirected to a malicious smart contract, suggesting that the cBridge front-end interface may have suffered a DNS Hijacking attack. The investigation revealed that, unlike previous cross-chain bridge hacking incidents such as Nomad, Wormhole, Ronin, and Harmony, this attack was not caused by bugs in smart contracts or cross-chain protocols, nor by server intrusions. Therefore, the cross-chain assets locked within cBridge remained secure throughout. This attack directly targeted underlying infrastructure in the internet architecture outside of Celer systems—hackers exploited the internet’s foundational routing protocol (BGP) to deceive users into accessing a phishing front-end interface for a period of time. Thanks to Celer Network team's 24-hour monitoring system, customer support identified the issue immediately. With swift and effective response measures taken by the team afterward, user losses were minimal.
