It also informed users that it was working with several exchanges in an attempt to freeze the funds. The team also said they were working on a patch to fix the issue as well as rollback options, promising to give an update as soon as they got new information.<\/p>\n<p>Harmony has so far traced the theft to four wallet addresses, one1uap\u202643014510, one17u300a\u20266408efe5, one1a5hur07z\u202673bb08eb, and one1h56hkx\u202658ff1a70ba, and has <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/harmonyprotocol\/status\/2087410115200889135?s=20\">asked<\/a> all exchanges to \u201cblock and freeze\u201d any funds that track back to them. Due to the incident, the team has also paused the LayerZero-Harmony bridge and asked validators to upgrade with a patch that prevents any further minting of ONE.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll follow up with another update to address already minted tokens,\u201d the team promised.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This is not the first time Harmony has been attacked, as it lost about $100 million in 2022, when its Horizon Bridge was exploited.<\/p>\n<h2>ONE Dumps to All-Time Low<\/h2>\n<p>Following the incident, the ONE token, which had been trading around $0.00117, dropped suddenly to about $0.00057 to register a new all-time low. At the time of writing, the token had shaken off some of the shock and was changing hands 33% above that ATL, although the new level still represented a nearly 40% loss in 24 hours.
