Symbiosis says it recovered 15 BTC after bridge hack

Symbiosis, a crosschain liquidity protocol, said it recovered 15 bitcoin worth about $1.1 million after a Friday exploit targeting its native Bitcoin bridge. The protocol said the recovered funds were moved into a teamcontrolled multisig wallet, while the affected bridge remains paused. According to blockchain security firm Blockaid, the attacker minted 46.1 billion unbacked tokens and netted about 4.3 wrapped bitcoin, or roughly $336,000. Symbiosis said its other routes are still operating, but it has not yet shared a full accounting of the losses. The protocol is now offering a 20% bounty for information that leads to additional asset recovery. It also plans to outline compensation for affected liquidity providers, while broader bridge exploits continue to put pressure on DeFi security.
