This was in the news today:

"Blockchain Bridge Wormhole Suffers Possible Exploit Worth Over $326M".

https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2022/02/02/blockchain-bridge-wormhole-suffers-possible-exploit-worth-over-250m/

"The hack has raised alarm in DeFi circles because it now means ETH that has been bridged to Solana may be unbacked".
