Cosmos EVM Halted Amid Security Incident: Chains Warned to Shut Down Validators
Cosmos EVM Suffers Security Incident; Chains Halted as Investigation Continues
The Cosmos EVM module has been hit by a security incident, prompting affected chains to halt validators and await further instructions from Cosmos Labs. The company's security and engineering teams are actively responding to the situation.
No specific vulnerability has been disclosed publicly, nor have any affected chain names or loss figures been confirmed. However, Cosmos Labs has pledged to publish a full post-mortem analysis once the incident is resolved.
This is not the first time the Cosmos EVM ecosystem has faced security challenges. In January, an exploit involving the SagaEVM implementation resulted in approximately $7 million in losses, while August saw incidents on MANTRA Chain and TAC that temporarily halted operations.
