daha sonra Retweet on Jan. 1 confirmed that the 23 largest exploits were responsible for around 98.5% of the $62.2 million figure, with the $15 million Helio Protocol incident on Dec. 2 the largest of the month.
The protocol, which manages the stablecoin HAY (HAY), suffered a loss when a trader took advantage of a price discrepancy in Ankr Reward Bearing Staked BNB (aBNBc) to borrow millions worth of HAY.
At the time, the decentralized finance (Defi) protocol Ankr suffered a separate exploit where an attacker minted 20 trillion aBNBc, causing its price to plummet. The Helio trader quickly deposited aBNBc tokens to borrow 16 million HAY, causing the loan to be significantly undercollateralized, leading to the protocol’s loss and a depeg of its stablecoin.
The second largest incident of the month was the $12.9 million exploits of Defrost Finance’s v1 and v2 protocols on Dec. 23, where an attacker carried out a flash loan attack by adding a fake collateral token and a malicious price oracle to liquidate the protocol.
Days after the exploit, the hacker fonları iade etti stolen from the v1 protocol to an address controlled by Defrost, though funds are yet to have been returned for the v2 hack.
CertiK labeled the exploit an “exit scam” due to the fact an admin key was required to conduct the attack. Defrost iddiaları yalanladı to Cointelegraph, claiming the key was compromised.
