Crypto alternate Huobi alleged that pNetwork’s “white hat attack” to empty its liquidity pool on PancakeSwap turned into a premeditated theft.

On Thursday, multi-chain bridge pNetwork suspended the GALA bridge on Ethereum, claiming that a misconfigured bridge contract had made it at likelihood of an exploit. The protocol then drained its PancakeSwap liquidity pool in an obvious strive to front-bustle any malicious actors.

Traders who overlooked the memo interpreted the on-chain activity as an ongoing exploit, then sank the mark of GALA by 33% to $0.28.

Huobi moreover claims that pNetwork left it at dreary evening. The crypto alternate converted users’ GALA tokens exact into a up to date token known as pGALA, calling it a “meme token” earlier than delisting the GALA/USDT buying and selling pair.

pNetwork talked about on Sunday that its makes an strive to bag Huobi to suspend deposits of the token hadn’t long undergone.

Later that day, Huobi issued a pronounce that talked about that pNetwork had stolen the money from the PancakeSwap pool for “malicious income.”

“We mediate that this is a premeditated hacking attack deliberate by the pNetwork crew, and the white hat attack is merely an illegal excuse sought by the pNetwork crew to steer clear of staunch sanctions,” alleged Huobi.

The alternate talked about that pNetwork “falsely claimed” its bridge turned into misconfigured and that its anecdote of events “seriously deviates from the facts.”

Huobi claims that pNetwork’s actions precipitated its users to lose a host of cash. It plans to sue pNetwork unless the multi-chain bridge compensates these affected.
