Hyperbridge exploited two weeks after April Fools' hack joke

April 13, 2026
https://www.web3isgoinggreat.com/?id=hyperbridge-exploit
Hyperbridge exploited two weeks after April Fools' hack joke On April Fools' Day, the Hyperbridge blockchain bridge project posted a tweet claiming that the North Korean Lazarus hacking group had drained $37 million from the project. A linked blog post contained a Rickroll GIF and an explanation of "Why Hyperbridge can't be hacked". The following day, a Hyperbridge developer posted a screenshot of a blockchain transaction, writing "Lmao the uniBTC exploiter is testing Hyperbridge. I hope you have a quantum computer bro". Another commenter replied, "Rule #1 dont actively provoke attackers". About two weeks later, an attacker was able to forge a transaction to change the admin rights for the Polkadot/Ethereum bridge contract, allowing them to mint 1 billion DOT tokens. They were able to cash out about $237,000 due to limited liquidity. The April Fools' posts have since been deleted.
