Facts and investigation

Attacker: 0x7506DeA0c38ca0B55364B22424374c5A1ae1B76a (primary, Etherscan-labeled 'Taiko Bridge Exploiter 1'); additional addresses published by Taiko: 0x5fbc60a12bc6635e7d587d8dac52e4b1388b4990; 0x3cc936b795a188f0e246cbb2d74c5bd190aecf18; 0x9108828e30f2de407aadb0af677b4a9228e4acd4.

Funds moved to: ~1.99M TAIKO (~$189,000) transferred to MEXC before exchange-level freeze (Upbit, Bithumb, KuCoin suspended TAIKO deposits/withdrawals within hours). ~870.8 ETH (~$1.52M) remained unmoved in the attacker wallet as of last check (per Lookonchain). Remaining USDC/ETH drained directly from the ERC20Vault. Setup tx: 0x2f44dc1b883522a88f9b0cbbdfabf9ec33884b69dd4326600c3fab7fb2277260 (block 25367938). Release tx 1: 0x017292a7de5fef52a3274e37dda5ace4c4d0cdafe91b7b4ac9c700f02fae35ee (block 25368853, 22:
Bridge proxy (L1): 0xd60247c6848B7Ca29eDdF63AA924E53dB6Ddd8EC. ERC20Vault proxy: 0x996282cA11E5DEb6B5D122CC3B9A1FcAAD4415Ab. SignalService proxy: 0x9e0a24964e5397b566c1ed39258e21ab5e35c77c. Root cause: an RSA-3072 SGX enclave signing key (enclave-key.pem) belonging to Taiko's multi-prover Raiko stack was committed to the public GitHub repository taikoxyz/raiko. The attacker used the leaked key to register a rogue prover, forge L2 state attestations, and set withdrawal message statuses to RETRIAB

Timeline: T-X (undisclosed, prior to June 21): SGX enclave signing key (enclave-key.pem, RSA-3072) is exposed in the public taikoxyz/raiko GitHub repository. T0 (June 21, 2026, setup tx at block 25367938, ~19:03:59 UTC): Attacker registers a rogue prover using the leaked key. T+~3h (22:07:23 UTC, June 21): First forged-proof release transaction executes (release tx 1). T+~3h11m (22:18:23 UTC, June 21): Second release transaction executes (release tx 2). T+overnight: Blockaid detects the ongoing attack; Taiko's official X account (@taikoxyz) confirms a compromise of the chain-state verification mechanism in the early hours of June 22, 2026 (~00:44-00:49 UTC), urging all users to withdraw from every bridge on the network. T+June 22, ~02:00-02:08 ET: Block production halted; BlockSec Phalcon publishes technical analysis confirming the SGX key leak as root cause; Upbit, Bithumb and KuCoin suspend TAIKO deposits/withdrawals. T+June 23-24: Four 'respond-to-hack' PRs merged on GitHub; Taiko Security Council activated; CEO files report with Singapore authorities. T+June 25, 2026: Taiko announces plan to fully restore/recollateralize the bridge 1:1 from treasury before reopening (last documented activity for this incident).
