> How was Wormhole exploited?
> Notably, the hacker carried out an unlawful mint of 120,000 wETH, which was valued at around $322 million at the time. They carried out the assault by taking advantage of a Solana VAA weakness, a bridge function that verifies asset transfers.
Could anyone provide specific details as to what occurred, and how the weakness was actually exploited?
