Ethereum Bridge BTC Import/Proof Path Trace-Attributed Unauthorized Payout

On Ethereum block `25118335` at `2026-05-17T23:55:23Z`, attacker EOA `0x5abb91b9c01a5ed3ae762d32b236595b459d5777` called bridge dispatcher `0x71518580f36feceffe0721f06ba4703218cd7f63` and drained bridge-held assets to drainer `0x65cb8b128bf6e690761044cceca422bb239c25f9`.

No internal calls, logs, token transfers, or […]
