DeFi Bridges Burned: $35M Gone, Surprise, Surprise!

Well, butter my tostada, turns out those fancy 'cross-chain bridges' everyone was hyping up are about as secure as a beach shack in a hurricane. Three of 'em got drained for a cool $35.55 million in the last 48 hours across AFX, BSquared Network, and VerusCoin. Meanwhile, my internet here in La Paz flickered twice, but at least my pesos are still in my wallet. Who'd have thought putting your money in an unaudited digital black box was risky?
