Restaking protocol Swell said it is investigating reports of suspicious activity tied to the swETH and rswETH contracts and is working with security partners while taking precautionary steps. The team said no ETH has left the withdrawal or deposit contracts for either swETH or rswETH, and that users do not need to take any action at this stage. Earlier, according to Foresight News, on-chain analyst Spreek said monitoring suggested the admin keys for Swell DAO’s swETH and rswETH may have been compromised, possibly related to Railway. Spreek added that an attacker had deployed four malicious upgrade contracts that could potentially steal about 2,500 ETH. The situation remains under investigation based on the information currently disclosed.
