I have often wondered, on cross chain bridges, like binance, and hive engine, what are the controls to stop either binance or hive engine intervening mid way through a transfer and potentially stealing money? I trust both these organisations, so I don't mind using their services, but when I think about it essentially aren't we just depositing cyrpto in their account, and they are sending a different crypto from their account back to you.

Usually a smart contract that is open sourced and audited.

It is truly the wild west, exchanges are no more trust worthy than a random bagger at your local grocery store.
