BIFROST officially released a report saying that the BTC address registration server of the BiFi service was attacked. According to the analysis, the attack was limited to the BTC address registration server, and neither the smart contract nor the BiFi protocol detected the vulnerability. BiFi issues and uses an address for each user who deposits BTC. The deposit addresses are signed and delivered to the address issuing server and the addresses are reflected on BiFi only in the case when the signature is verified. In the attack, the server key of the address issuing server was exposed and the attacker was able to self-sign their own deposit address. Since the attacker could generate a valid signature on the deposit address, BiFi mistakenly recognized the attacker’s BTC transfer as a BTC deposit into BiFi. As a result, the attacker was able to borrow 1,852 ETH with fake deposit.ExpandCollapse

Decentralized NFT financialization protocol Omni X has been attacked and stolen funds have been transferred to Tornado.cash. The main reason for this attack is that the burn function will call the callback function externally to cause the reentrancy problem, and the liquidation function uses the old vars value for judgment, resulting in the user's status identification even after reentrancy and then borrowing. Being set as unborrowed results in no repayments.ExpandCollapse

Quiuixotic, the largest NFT platform in the Optimism ecosystem, has a serious vulnerability, and a large number of user assets have been stolen. Users who have traded on this market should cancel their authorization as soon as possible. According to SlowMist analysis, only the sell order is checked in the fillSellOrder function of the market contract, and the buyer's buy order is not checked. Therefore, the attacker first creates an arbitrary NFT contract, calls the fillSellOrder function to generate a sell order, and passes the buyer parameter as the victim's address and the paymentERC20 parameter as the token address to be stolen, then the user who is authorized to the market contract can be transferred. Tokens are transferred for profit.ExpandCollapse

Harmony Horizon bridge was hacked. According to the analysis of SlowMist MistTrack, the attackers made more than 100 million US dollars, including 11 ERC20 tokens, 13,100 ETH, 5,000 BNB and 640,000 BUSD. On the 26th, Harmony founder Stephen Tse said on Twitter that Horizon was attacked not because of a smart contract vulnerability, but because of a private key leak. Although Harmony stored the private keys encrypted, the attacker decrypted some of them and signed some unauthorized transactions. At present, Harmony has migrated Horizon's verification authority on the Ethereum side to 4/5 multi-signature. It is reported that this incident is suspected to be related to the North Korean hacker group Lazarus Group.ExpandCollapse

The whaleswap.finance project was attacked, and at least 5946 BUSD and 5964 USDT were lost. The reason may be that there is a problem with the K value verification of the whaleswap.finance Pair contract. Whenever the user exchanges, there is a problem with the parameter magnitude passed in the K value verification, which causes the K value verification to fail. The attacker first borrows a BSC-USD through a flash loan, and then returns the flash loan when the K value verification parameter is on the order of 10000^4. The parameter verification level used in the K value verification is 10000^2, which causes the K verification to fail.ExpandCollapse
