Cysic has suspended its bridge after an unauthorized mint of 10 million CYS, according to reports on 18 October 2026 from The Block, The Defiant and Cointelegraph. The reports were first published by Cointelegraph at 10:43 UTC. The story is labeled Unverified: it was reported by an established outlet or several sources but has not been confirmed at the source.

The reports come from three outlets. The Block and Cointelegraph reported that Cysic halted its bridge after the mint, and The Defiant also reported on the incident. Because the material labels the story Unverified, the details below should be treated as reported but not confirmed at the source. [1] [2] [3]

The Block reported that an attacker minted 10 million CYS and bridged about $727,000 in proceeds to Ethereum. The Block stated the funds were moved via Mayan, deBridge and SWFT's Bridgers, according to the summary. The Defiant reported that about 2.8 million CYS remain frozen at the recipient address.

Cointelegraph reported that Cysic said the incident was limited to bridge message processing and minting and did not affect the mainnet or other operational systems. The quote given is: "limited to bridge message processing and minting and did not affect the mainnet". [3]

What remains unconfirmed is the incident itself, which the material labels Unverified rather than confirmed at the source. The figures of 10 million CYS, about $727,000 in bridged proceeds and about 2.8 million CYS frozen are as reported by the named outlets. No further cause or outcome is stated in the material.
