Loopring, a zk-rollup based protocol on Ethereum, suffered a significant security breach resulting in a loss of $5 million.

Loopring has reported the incident and is working with security experts, centralized exchanges, and law enforcement to recover the lost funds. The event has caused Loopring's token, LRC, to fall to a four-month low.
