Security Alert: The Truebit Protocol Hack

🚨 Security Alert: The Truebit Protocol Hack

Target: Ethereum DeFi Users

⚠️ The Incident: Truebit, a major verification protocol on Ethereum, was exploited late yesterday for approximately $26 Million (8,535 ETH). This is the first major “Infrastructure Hack” of 2026.

☠️ The Attack:

1. The Vector: The attacker found a vulnerability in Truebit’s smart contract that allowed them to trick the system into “verifying” false tasks.
2. The Drain: This allowed them to withdraw funds from the protocol’s treasury without authorization
3. The Risk: If you hold TRU tokens or have deposited assets into Truebit-integrated pools, your funds may be devalued or frozen.

🛡️ ShieldGuard Rule:

• Revoke Approvals: If you have ever interacted with Truebit, go to Revoke.cash immediately and revoke all permissions for the Truebit contract to prevent further draining.
• Stay Liquid: Avoid locking funds in “verification” protocols until a post-mortem audit is released

In a decentralized world of zero trust, let ShieldGuard be your defense layer.
