A bridge that's been dead for two years just got robbed twice in four days. $4.4 MILLION walked out of a protocol nobody even runs anymore.
Last week they found a flaw in Aztec Connect and pulled out $2.19 MILLION. Today they came back for another $2.2 MILLION.
It's an old bridge that shut down in March 2024. The team walked away and froze the contracts, but never emptied them.
So real money sat inside the whole time, with nobody watching it.
The second flaw is almost funny. The bridge's emergency exit had no lock on it. Nothing checking you owned what you withdrew.
The contract just paid out whatever it was handed. Today that was 1,158 ETH in a single transaction.
And this is the part people will get wrong. It's not the live Aztec network and the token wasn't touched.
Two different things share the name. The one being drained is the dead one.
That's what makes it unstoppable. No team to patch it, no admin to pause it, no one to call.
The code is frozen forever. The flaw is frozen with it. And the money's still in there, waiting for the next person to take a piece.
Old protocols will sit on-chain holding money until someone reads the code closely enough to empty them.
