RUG.TOOLSSlowMist reports $780K zkLink exploit
What was reported
SlowMist reports that zkLink was attacked on October 29, 2026, causing approximately $783,000 in losses. The analysis describes forged batch-root verification and lists affected Ethereum and Linea bridge infrastructure.
Why it matters
A forged withdrawal root can make unauthorized withdrawal messages appear valid, putting protocol-held ETH and ERC-20 funds at risk.
Evidence and limitations
- The source explicitly reports an attack against zkLink and approximately $783,000 in losses.
- The source identifies Ethereum contracts involved in messaging, bridging, treasury custody, and arbitration.
- The excerpt also names a Linea gateway, but Linea is not a supported output chain, so no Linea address is included.
