The Poly Network, a cross-chain interoperability protocol, was attacked again. This attack affected 58 assets on 11 blockchains. According to SlowMist analysis, Poly Network hackers have profited over $10 million worth of mainstream assets. The attackers implanted a Trojan virus into the program compilation environment, allowing them to acquire the consensus keys of Poly Network’s Relay Chain. Subsequently, they utilized these keys to forge cross-chain transactions. The hackers implanted a Trojan horse code block during the program compilation process, obtaining and uploading consensus keys during program startup. They then employed these keys to sign the block header of the forged Poly Network’s Relay Chain, ultimately submitting the forged cross-chain transactions and block header to the target chain to execute the cross-chain exploit.ExpandCollapse

Themis, a cryptographic lending protocol, has been subject to a prophecy machine manipulation attack, and the attackers have stolen approximately $370,000. The hack is due to a flawed oracle, exploited to inflate the B-wstETH-WETH-Stable-gauge price. Specifically, the deposit of 54.6 B-wstETH-WETH-Stable-gauge (obtained by joining the balancer pool w/ 55 WETH) is able to borrow 317 WETH, basically draining the lending funds.ExpandCollapse

He advertised the service on his website claiming that the promised returns matched the performance of his investments, as he himself was a white knuckle investor who had made millions of dollars. According to his trading strategy, Ichioka promised a 10% return every 30 business days to those who participated in his program. However, his trades suffered huge losses. To hide the losses, he provided false documents to inflate the amount of money in his commodity interest pool accounts and provided participants with false account statements. Ichioka also used other participants' funds to pay for the alleged gains. Although Ichioka claimed that he was investing for his clients, he actually used client funds for personal expenses. He commingled participants' assets with his own and used them to purchase luxury items such as jewelry, cars, and watches.ExpandCollapse

Astaria, the NFT lending platform, tweeted: "At 12:42 BST on June 20, Astaria became aware of an issue with the basic execution of BeaconProxy.sol that allowed an attacker to manipulate the beacon to load a malicious execution that would allow the attacker to invoke the self-destruct feature. All funds and NFTs are secure and no action is required at this point, Astaria is in a suspended state and cannot initiate new loans. The suspended state is to protect all assets in the protocol and we can confirm that no funds are missing. Just now Astaria successfully executed a white hat recovery script that saved all ERC20 and ERC721 assets of all LPs and borrowers. Astaria has been in public beta since May 25. The recovery script extracted all funds and NFTs to Astaria multi-signature addresses using the updated contract implementation and recovery code. We are drafting a plan for the next steps and will follow up as soon as possible."ExpandCollapse
