THORChain (RUNE), a decentralized cross-chain transaction protocol, claims that hackers airdrop UniH tokens to Ethereum addresses as bait to steal RUNE tokens in users' wallets. Hackers have airdropped UniH tokens with malicious contracts to at least 76,000 Ethereum addresses. Once receiving users sell their newly received UniH tokens (or even just approve the sale) on decentralized trading platforms such as Uniswap, the hackers will They can steal any RUNE tokens they have in their wallets. This is because the RUNE token uses a non-standard token contract called "tx.origin". According to Thorchain’s RUNE token contract code “Beware of phishing contracts that may steal tokens by intercepting tx.origin”, it knows that this type of attack may occur. In just a few hours, hackers have stolen USD 76,000 worth of tokens. currency.ExpandCollapse

The decentralized cross-chain transaction protocol THORChain (RUNE) updated the attack situation, claiming that the amount of lost assets was about 4000 ETH. The initial assessment is that the attack was a logical vulnerability when Eth Bifrost used the routing contract to capture ERC-20 tokens. The attacker use. Not long ago, THORChain updated Eth Bifrost to allow the routing contract to be "encapsulated" by the contract. The attacker uses this to send a transaction with msg.value = 200 ETH and immediately uses the contract to transfer it back to itself, while Bifrost will report msg. value = 200 instead of depositAmount = 0, so as to realize the profit of calling the routing contract with the amount of 0 ETH.ExpandCollapse

Medium user Anonymous Dev published an article stating that there are a large number of loopholes in the BSC ecological Rabbit Finance code, which may be suspected of running away. The vulnerabilities include: 1. The total supply of tokens RABBIT is not the hard cap of 203,000,000 as the team claims; 2. The owner of Rabbit's FairLaunch can issue unlimited RABBIT tokens at any time; 3. 100% of the positions can be liquidated at any time and funds It can be stolen at any time, and there is no maximum limit on the configurable protocol parameters; 4. All funds on the platform may be stolen, and Rabbit’s EOA account can be upgraded to execute the contract at any time. The official did not respond to this matter. Although the Rabbit team did not explain why the vulnerabilities existed, or outright pleaded guilty, the Rabbit team was forced to at least add some restrictions to these security risks through a 24-hour Timelock.ExpandCollapse

DeFiPie (PIE), the lending protocol on the Ethereum and Binance smart chains, was hacked. It is recommended that all liquidity providers extract all liquidity from the application. PIE tokens fell by more than 66% in 24 hours. The attacker used a re-entry attack to over-borrow and lent a portion of valuable assets. Later, the counterfeit currency was used for liquidation operations and took away the mortgaged valuable assets, which led to the DeFiPie agreement not only lent assets, but also lost all mortgage assets, and liquidity was lost.ExpandCollapse

The cross-chain bridge Chainswap announced the details of the stolen incident on its official blog. A total of 20 project assets were stolen, with a total value of approximately US$4 million. At present, the ChainSwap team has reached a consensus with the affected projects and initially formulated and implemented a compensation plan. According to the project investigation, due to the error in the token cross-chain quota code, the on-chain swap bridge quota is automatically increased by the signature node, the purpose of which is to be more decentralized without manual control. However, due to a logical flaw in the code, this led to a vulnerability that automatically increases the number of invalid addresses that are not whitelisted.ExpandCollapse

The cross-chain bridge project Multichain issued an announcement stating that the newly launched V3 cross-chain liquidity pool was hacked in the early hours of yesterday, with a total loss of 2.39 million USDC and 5.5 million MIM. According to Etherscan, the hacker has sold all MIMs and obtained 548 Million DAI, which means that Multichain's total loss is more than 7.87 million U.S. dollars. According to the explanation of the reason for the theft in the Multichain announcement, two v3 router transactions were detected under the V3 router MPC account on the BSC. These two transactions have the same R value signature, and the hacker reversed the private key of this MPC account. At present, the team has fixed the code to avoid using the same R signature. Multi-chain router V3 will restart in about 48 hours. There is no security risk for v1 and v2. Multichain stated that it has taken remedial measures to provide full compensation. Multichain will refill the stolen liquidity within 48 hours, and the liquidity provider will be able to withdraw assets from the fund pool again without any loss.ExpandCollapse
