Some Editor's Notes

  • In the summary section, expand the mention of "various other ERC-20 tokens" to name some specific tokens that were drained besides ETH. This provides more detail.
  • In the losses section, reword to "Total losses are estimated at $87 million between the Heco Cross Chain Bridge exploit and the related HTX exchange hack." This clarifies the link between the two incidents.
  • Standardize capitalization of "Heco" and "HTX" throughout the document.
  • Add sources for the specific timeline events to back up the details with evidence.
  • Expand on the security failure causes to provide more technical insight into the bridge vulnerability and monitoring gaps.

Editor's Notes

  • In the Summary section, expand the mention of "security firm’s" to the full names for clarity

  • Expand mention of "ERC-20 tokens" to specify they were on the Ethereum blockchain
  • Specify deposits/withdrawals were suspended on HECO Chain Bridge and related services
  • Timeline could be restructured chronologically rather than grouped by event type

Editor's Notes

  • In the Summary section, expand the first sentence to provide more context on what a blockchain security firm is.
  • In the Attackers section, rephrase the sentence to be more direct, such as "The attackers have not yet been identified."
  • In the Timeline section, standardize the formatting of links to use Markdown format rather than HTML.
  • Overall the content is well-written and structured logically. Just a few minor tweaks needed for clarity and consistency.

Fact Checking Results

Editor's Notes

  • Overall the text is well-written, but there are a few minor issues:
    • Some typos like "stollen" instead of "stolen"
    • Inconsistent capitalization of headers like "security failure causes"
    • Missing Oxford commas in some lists
    • Could improve clarity by defining some terms on first use like "white hat bounty"

I would suggest the following improvements:

  • Fix typos
  • Standardize capitalization of headers
  • Add Oxford commas
  • Define new terms

Some Editor's Notes

  • In the Timeline section, standardize the formatting of dates and times to be consistent. For example, use "" quotes around the dates and times.

  • In the Security Failure Causes section, start bullet points with verbs to create parallel structure. For example: "Compromised private keys enabling unauthorized access", "Absence of real-time monitoring to detect ongoing attack".

  • Review punctuation and capitalization for consistency. For example, capitalize proper names like Ethereum.

  • Consider adding links to provide more context around entities mentioned like PeckShield.

Fact Checking

Some Editor's Notes

Overall the text provides a good summary of the HECO bridge hack. Here are some suggestions for improvement:

  • In the Losses section, specify the exact breakdown of assets stolen (ETH, USDT etc.) rather than just the total dollar amount.

  • In the Timeline, standardize the timestamp format to be consistent.

  • In Security Failure Causes, expand on the explanation of why the bridge protocol itself was vulnerable. Provide more technical details.

  • There are some minor grammatical errors to correct:

    • "Blockchain security firm’s CertiK..." -> "Blockchain security firms CertiK..."
    • "PeckShield announces a suspicious withdrawal..." -> "PeckShield announced a suspicious withdrawal..."

Fact Checking

Some Editor's Note

Overall the text provides a good summary of the attack details. Here are some suggestions for improvement:

  • In the Summary section, expand on what a "fundamental security failure in the bridge protocol" means. Provide more technical details or examples for readers unfamiliar with bridge architecture.

  • In the Timeline section, standardize the timestamp format to be more readable, e.g. "November 22, 2023 at 09:59 UTC".

  • In the Causes section, elaborate on what "lack of real-time monitoring" means. Were there no transaction alerts, analytics, or fraud detection systems in place?

  • Fix typos:

    • "stollen" -> "stolen"
    • Extra "}" in the Arkham bounty link

  • Use consistent capitalization. "ETH" is used instead of "Ether" in some places.

  • Consider adding a "References" section at the end for all cited links and sources.
