Ethereum PoW loses 200 WETH to Omni bridge vulnerability exploit
EthereumAng Ethereum PoW ay nawalan ng 200 WETH sa Omni bridge vulnerability exploit09 / 19 / 2022Balita ng Ethereum ng Bitcoin A replay attack against Omni bridge resulted in a hacker exploiting 200 WETH from the Ethereum PoW chain. On Sept. 18, security firm BlockSec identified a replay attack launched against the Ethereum PoW chain. The attacker transferred 200 WETH from the Ethereum PoS chain through the Omni bridge. The transaction was reportedly replicated on the Ethereum PoW chain. Omni bridge failed to validate the actual chainID before approving the transaction. As a result, the PoW chain was drained of 200 WETH. Ayon sa security firm Certik, the attacker has transferred the funds through Mexc Global for possible cash out. EthereumPoW is Safu From the TX hash of the exploit, the ETHPoS at ETHPoW had different transaction data. ETHW Core developers clarified that the replay attack was impossible against EthereumPoW as it enforced EIP-155. By design, EIP-155 includes the chainID of a transaction to avoid replays of the transaction on different chains. ETHW Core added that the attack exploited a contract vulnerability of the Omni bridge. The bridge has been informed to address the issue. Slow adoption for ETHW Since launching on Sept. 15. Ethereum PoW has not gathered much adoption from
