Allbridge stalls operations after attacker nets 1.65 million in flash loan heist

Allbridge's cross-chain bridge is at a standstill after a hacker drained roughly $1.65 million from its Solana-based stablecoin pools. The exploit used a flash loan to artificially inflate the price of assets within the pool, allowing the attacker to withdraw a massive surplus of funds. Security analysts at PeckShield confirmed the stolen capital was quickly shuffled onto the Ethereum network to complicate recovery efforts. It's a classic exploit pattern that hit a specific vulnerability in how the protocol calculates exchange rates during high-volume swaps. The team officially paused the bridge to prevent further drainage while they work with law enforcement to track the digital breadcrumbs. Now, liquidity providers are left waiting to see if any of that $1.65 million can be clawed back or if the bridge's insurance funds will cover the hole. Will the exploiter take a bounty deal, or is this capital gone for good?
