Questions about this signal

What happened in this signal?

On June 22, 2026, Taiko, an Ethereum Layer-2 network, suffered an exploit on its bridge, resulting in approximately $1.7 million in losses. The attack was caused by an SGX signing key for Taiko's Raiko prover being accidentally committed to a public GitHub repository. This leaked key allowed an attacker to register a malicious prover and forge fraudulent withdrawal proofs, enabling them to drain assets from the L1 bridge contracts. Taiko halted block production and urged users to withdraw funds from all bridges.
