ILITY Security incident confirmed on the network; cross-chain bridge operations have been suspended
PANews October 19 reported that ILITY On October 17 announced on X that ILITY Network experienced a security incident and has temporarily shut down its ILITY cross-chain bridge. It is working with law enforcement agencies, cryptographic forensics experts, and investors on an investigation, and has not yet disclosed the amount of losses or attack details. On-chain analyst Specter said it observed a wallet transferring approximately 35700 tokens ZEC(valued at approximately 41000000 USD) out of a privacy pool, after which the funds were transferred through NEAR Intents and multiple addresses to the Bitcoin and Ethereum networks. Its tracking suggests that the relevant addresses are associated with the ILITY cross-chain bridge, and that approximately 4100000 tokens ILY flowed out of the bridge. Due to Zcash's privacy features, whether this ZEC constitutes stolen funds, as well as its exact relationship to the ILITY incident, has not yet been confirmed.

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
The project team has confirmed a security incident on the network, and has therefore suspended the cross-chain bridge and launched an investigation. The analyst identified large on-chain movements of ZEC and ILY, but it has not been confirmed whether these addresses and funds are in fact related to this incident.
Why it matters to readers
The suspension of the cross-chain bridge will directly affect related cross-chain operations. The amount of losses and scope of impact have not been disclosed, so the scale of the incident cannot currently be assessed. If the fund flows suggested by the analyst are related, they may help clarify the incident, but they remain unverified tracking assessments at this stage.
If you have used the ILITY cross-chain bridge, monitor subsequent announcements from the project team. Do not treat the address associations observed by the analyst as a confirmed conclusion that the funds were stolen.
