The leading lending platform on the Starknet chain, zkLend, has suffered an attack. The core reason for this breach lies in the fact that the value of the accumulator in an empty market can be manipulated and amplified using a unique mechanism in flash loans. Additionally, the market contract's use of the SafeMath library performs division using direct division, allowing the attacker to exploit the amplified accumulator to trigger a rounding-down vulnerability for profit.
The memecoin platform Four.Meme was attacked. According to an analysis by the SlowMist security team, the attacker was able to execute a frontrunning attack by pre-creating a liquidity pool on PancakeSwap v3 with an extremely high token price. When the token was integrated into PancakeSwap v3, liquidity was added based on the unbalanced pool set up by the attacker. Since the project team did not verify the pool's price, the added liquidity followed the maliciously set price. As a result, the attacker was able to exploit this mechanism to drain assets from the pool.

On February 4, 2025, the Ionic protocol suffered a social engineering attack, allowing the attacker to use a forged Lombard Bitcoin Token (LBTC) as collateral. This asset was deployed on the Mode network. The attacker deployed the forged LBTC on January 9, 2025, while Ionic records indicate that the attacker began interacting with the platform as early as December 12, 2024. After several weeks of business development (BD) discussions, the Ionic team approved the fraudulent asset as eligible collateral and provided a Balancer pool with $400,000 in liquidity, along with API3 oracle price feeds. Ultimately, the Ionic Mode main market accepted the forged LBTC as collateral, with a total supply of 250 LBTC. The attacker minted 250 LBTC in their own wallet and deposited them into Ionic as collateral, stealing $12.3 million worth of supplied assets.
