[Rocket Blockchain Suffers Attack, Losing Approximately $287,000]
L1 blockchain Rocket announced that a chain attack occurred on September 5, resulting in a loss of approximately $287,000 in funds. The attacker exploited dormant perpetual markets on Rocket by using a one-time account to place artificially inflated price orders and trade with themselves, generating fake profits on the account while bankrupting the one-time account. The attacker then withdrew approximately $287,000 in profits from the Bridge. Currently, all deposits, withdrawals, and trading have been suspended. The team is working with security firms and law enforcement agencies, as well as coordinating with exchanges, cross-chain bridges, and stablecoin issuers to track and freeze the stolen funds. The official statement noted that a recovery plan is being formulated, prioritizing refunds for small accounts, with specific details to be announced as soon as possible.
