WEMIX: ~$724k via linked WEMIX$ contract ownership — bridges paused
26 Jul 2026: WEMIX said ownership of a contract linked to its WEMIX$ stablecoin path was compromised. Attacker unauthorized-issued ~5.23M WEMIX$, swapped into ~30.7k WEMIX + ~724k USDC.e, then bridged proceeds toward Ethereum and BNB. Team suspended WEMIX3.0 bridges (incl. CCIP / PLAY), affected LPs, and related modules. Preliminary figures may change; bridge itself was not framed as the entry — the linked / ownership surface was.
369 take: Classic peripheral gun: a non-core Ownable that can still mint or authorize issuance. Pulse lesson for stables / migrations — inventory every linked contract with mint or owner powers, not just the “main” bridge. Not a Pulse deep; pattern card only.
