Hive Engine Hacked

I regret to inform the community that hive-engine has been hacked. Around 5am EST it appears multiple systems of EVM bridges were compromised.

Eth and BNB as well as the Solana bridges have been impacted. This also includes the BaseETH/Hive Bridge. This goes across multiple server systems and multiple projects operated by different developers.

Hive, HBD, BTC, LTC, STEEM, DOGE are reporting ok.

The approximate damage to the ecosystem is 85 Eth, 58 BNB, 33k Pol, and 257 Solana. Underlying tokens like GIFU, USDT, BUSD and others have been drained as well. All EVM gateway processes have been shut down.

Please refrain from doing any deposits or withdrawls from those tokens. We'll get the front end updated soon, but for now those gateway services are offline.

We're still investigating. Anyone that wants to help is welcome. I'll be contacting my attorney and looking for remedies that are available working with law enforcement.

11:16 AM EST update - a little bit of good news. I was mistaken that the SPL DAO bridge portion was hacked. That's still operating normally. We took down the bridge on the website as a precaution, but it appears unaffected.
