42DAO Price Oracle Manipulation: $915.00K Reported Loss

·Historical incident record

Incident Overview

The 42DAO protocol was exploited. The attacker manipulated the Median Oracle with an abnormally low BTCB price, triggering forced liquidations of multiple BTCB vaults and profiting approximately $915,000. This caused its algorithmic stablecoin Balance Coin (BLC) to crash over 99% from near $1 to about $0.001.
