The Xave Finance project was hacked, resulting in a 1000x increase in RNBW issuance. The attack transaction is 0xc18ec2eb7d41638d9982281e766945d0428aaeda6211b4ccb6626ea7cff31f4a. The attacker first creates the attack contract 0xe167cdaac8718b90c03cf2cb75dc976e24ee86d3. The attack contract first calls the executeProposalWithIndex() function of the DaoModule contract 0x8f90 to execute the proposal. The content of the proposal is to call the mint() function to mint 100,000,000,000,000 RNBWs and transfer the ownership rights to the attacker. Finally, the hacker exchanged it for xRNBW, which was stored at the attacker's address (0x0f44f3489D17e42ab13A6beb76E57813081fc1E2).ExpandCollapse

BNBChain was attacked and lost more than 500 million US dollars. According to SlowMist, the hacker’s initial source of funds was ChangeNOW, and the hacker’s address has interacted with multiple DApps, including Multichain, Venus Protocol, Alpaca Finance, Stargate, Curve, Uniswap, Trader Joe, PancakeSwap, SushiSwap, etc. Analyst @samczsun posted a post explaining how hackers used Binance Bridge to steal BNB. The attackers stole 1 million BNB twice, but both used the height of 110217401, which is much lower than the normal height. Furthermore, the proof submitted by the attacker is shorter than the legitimate proof, showing that the attacker forged the proof for that particular block. The specific method is to add a new leaf node when the COMPUTEHASH function generates a hash, and then create a blank internal node to satisfy the prover, and exit early after finding a matching hash with the internal node. So far, only two fake verifications have been generated in this way.ExpandCollapse

A bot named 0xbadc0de made a windfall when traders tried to sell 1.8 million cUSDC (USDC on the Compound protocol) ($1.85 million in nominal value), but only got $500 of the asset due to low liquidity in return. However, the MEV bot made a profit of 800 ETH (~$1 million) from the sold carry trade. An hour later, a hacker exploited a bug in 0xbadc0de's badc code to withdraw all 1,101 ETH (~$1.5 million) in the contract.ExpandCollapse

In a tweet, @0xCrumbs disclosed that Dogechain was hacked yesterday, and the attackers exploited the vulnerability to mint 9.7 million $Doge (about $600,000) and transfer $316,000 through a cross-chain bridge. Currently 3 million remain in the starting wallet, in addition to $100,000 worth of USDC/ETH. Therefore, @0xCrumbs believes that yesterday's Dogechain maintenance was caused by the attack.
