Allbridge Core Pauses Protocol After Attacker Drains More Than $1 Million

Allbridge Core paused its protocol after an attacker exploited its stablecoin liquidity pools, with blockchain tracker Onchain Lens estimating losses exceeding $1 million. The incident adds to a growing number of attacks targeting crypto protocols, with exploits resulting in $57.8 million in losses in July 2026. How the Allbridge Exploit Unfolded Onchain Lens reported that Allbridge Core suffered an exploit on Solana, resulting in losses of more than $1.1 million. According to the firm, the attacker used a $1.12 million USDC flash loan from Kamino to manipulate the protocols USDC/USDT stablecoin pool through a series of rapid swaps, distorting the pools ratios before withdrawing liquidity at inflated values. The attacker repaid the flash loan within the same transaction. That move extracted roughly $1.1 million. Onchain Lens added that the stolen funds were later routed through privacy protocols to obscure their movement. The post also identified the largest single withdrawal at $2.24 million USDC.
