Woofun AI reports that Verus Bridge suffered a second major exploit, resulting in significant losses. The breach occurred on July 23, 2026, and indicates that a known validation flaw remained unresolved following the initial attack.

The vulnerability stemmed from a missing value check within the contract rather than broken cryptography. This oversight allowed minimal source value to trigger an enormous destination payout, demonstrating that sector-wide progress cannot compensate for publicly identified vulnerabilities left uncorrected.
