DeFi bridges are frequent hack targets, with billions stolen historically—funds often traceable despite complexity. 1. The Exploit Hackers exploit vulnerabilities in bridge contracts.

Drain liquidity pools or mint unauthorized tokens.

2. Immediate Movement Stolen assets bridged back or swapped.

Split across wallets. Laundered via mixers/DEXs.

3. Laundering Path Funds hop chains, convert to stablecoins, then to exchanges. 4. Cash-Out Attempts Many hit centralized platforms eventually. Where Tracing Can Intervene Bridges leave detailed trails.

Multi-Chain Analysis: Track across ecosystems. Taint Tracking: Flag tainted funds at exchanges. Community/DAO Freezes: Some protocols freeze.
