SatoshiPay Suffers $250K Loss from Hyperbridge Exploit

• •SatoshiPay lost approximately $250,000 due to a Hyperbridge exploit.
• •The breach involved the creation of 1 billion fraudulent bridged DOT tokens.
• •SatoshiPay's systems remain secure, with no impact on user funds.

Blue Star Capital's portfolio company, SatoshiPay, experienced a security breach linked to the Hyperbridge cross-chain protocol, resulting in an estimated loss of $250,000. The exploit allowed attackers to create approximately 1 billion fraudulent bridged DOT tokens, which were used to extract liquidity from SatoshiPay's pools on Uniswap. The total impact of the exploit is estimated at $2.5 million. Blue Star confirmed that the breach originated from a third-party vulnerability, and SatoshiPay's own systems, including Pendulum and Vortex networks, were not compromised. SatoshiPay has since removed liquidity from the affected pools and is collaborating with partners to recover losses. Despite this incident, SatoshiPay continues to make progress in its product offerings, including integrations for its Pendulum FX decentralized exchange and a partnership with AlfredPay for expansion into North America. Live testing for the North American launch is currently underway, focusing on Mexico and Colombia.
