GIWA 9134 bridge drained via fraudulent exploit affecting 1,300+ users; recovery team issues public appeal for voluntary fund return with whitehat bounty offer.
Security & Exploits ·
A recovery team has issued a public appeal following a fraudulent exploit of the GIWA 9134 bridge, with more than 1,300 addresses affected. The team stated it has reconstructed the bridge deployment, early transactions, batcher activity, and subsequent fund movements from public Ethereum data to trace the drain.
The recovery effort, led by an entity called DYOR, has already compensated some affected users with its own funds and is now seeking to recover remaining balances. The team is offering the exploit actor a path to voluntary cooperation, including a whitehat bounty for funds returned, and has designated a specific recovery address to receive either direct fund returns or initial contact messages.
The appeal emphasizes verification through on-chain documentation of transactions and wallet movements, while warning users not to send funds to addresses claiming to represent DYOR outside the official recovery channel. It remains unclear how much has been recovered to date or whether the actor will respond to the voluntary return offer.
