An exploit on an Ethereum bridge adapter associated with the Initia network resulted in the removal of 1.4 million $AUSD tokens from the system. The transferred funds consisted of existing tokens already circulating within the ecosystem. Agora, the issuer behind $AUSD, confirmed that the vulnerability targeted a third-party product rather than its core protocol. The statement emphasized that no new $AUSD was minted during the incident, limiting the impact to token movement across the bridge infrastructure.
