It looks like bridged $DOT by @Polkadot has just been exploited on Ethereum! Admin changed to the attacker's contract, 1 BILLION DOT minted and immediately dumped. Price went from $1.22 to almost zero. And it looks like the bridge is just allowing infinite minting now. Spotted

Hyperbridge wasn’t used by us and fake 1B of DOT printed out of thin air stayed mostly on Ethereum side and didnt get to us. Polkadot wouldn’t allowed to use them anyway as it’s tracking their “reserve” on every parachain which was obviously tiny fraction of what was minted.

Hyperbridge hack ➛ 1 billion $DOT minted, only $237K stolen On the morning of April 13, 2026, 1 billion $DOT was minted and dumped on ethereum. At first, everyone thought Polkadot had been hacked, but the real story is way more interesting. ➛ First, let’s make this clear:
