On October 1, 2022, the platform experienced a security breach in which attackers exploited a code vulnerability.
The exploit resulted in the theft of approximately $28.9 million worth of cryptocurrency.
After on‑chain negotiations, the primary hacker returned nearly $19 million of the stolen funds.
The hacker cited dissatisfaction with the initial bug‑bounty terms as motivation but later indicated a desire to improve communication in future exploits.
Security firms assisted Transit Finance identified the attacker’s IP address and email while monitoring the movement of funds across chains.
The incident prompted warnings about secondary scams targeting users’ private keys.
Recovery efforts continued for the remaining assets that were not returned.
The attacker claimed the exploit was intended to highlight security flaws, referencing larger recent breaches in the decentralized finance ecosystem.
