Crypto bridge loses nearly all of 200,000 XRP in 97 minutes

The Coreum bridge drain proves that "decentralized security" is a dangerous illusion. Despite requiring 17 of 28 relayers to sign off on every transaction, an attacker walked away with 200,000 XRP because the system functioned exactly as programmed. No keys were stolen and the XRP Ledger wasn't breached, yet the funds are gone because the "security" nodes blindly validated fake deposits. If the tech works perfectly and you still lose everything, can we ever truly trust a bridge again?
