KiiChain Halts Network After EVM Exploit Moves Funds Through Hyperlane to BSC

KiiChain suspended operations after a vulnerability in its EVM module enabled an attacker to extract funds via Hyperlane, a cross-chain messaging protocol, and bridge them to BNB Smart Chain. The exploit exposed a gap in the network's smart contract layer, allowing unauthorized asset transfers across chains. KiiChain's team is working with security partners and infrastructure providers to track the stolen funds and assess the full scope of the breach.

The halt represents a precautionary measure while investigators determine how deep the exploit ran and whether additional vulnerabilities remain. Cross-chain bridges have historically been attractive targets for attackers due to the complexity of securing assets moving between separate blockchains.

• An EVM module flaw let attackers drain KiiChain and move assets to BSC via Hyperlane before the network went offline.
• The team is collaborating with security partners to trace stolen funds and investigate the incident.
• The suspension highlights ongoing risks in cross-chain infrastructure and smart contract implementations.
