The incident, which saw a malicious "AI Agent Takeover" governance proposal passed on Neutron, initially led to $9.5 million in losses from Astroport and Drop applications. The attacker reportedly spent only $20,199 to acquire the necessary NTRN tokens. Cosmos Hub validators paused the network to secure 1.2 million ATOM (over $2.2 million) held in the attacker's address, with a scheduled refund of the trapped ATOM balance upon restart.
