AFX Trade Confirms Attack Involving Social Engineering and Infrastructure Breach

AFX Trade has stated that preliminary investigations indicate it has suffered from a coordinated social engineering and infrastructure intrusion attack. The attackers gained access through the development environment and subsequently escalated their access to internal build infrastructure and validator systems. The current priority is to protect affected users, with the team verifying impacted balances, recovering funds, and preparing a structured remediation plan. Previously, PeckShield detected that the AFX Trade Arbitrum cross-chain bridge was attacked by hackers, resulting in a loss of approximately 24 million USDC.
