DeFi hacks [history]

[o48o]

That's like modern day bank robbery but more effective and profitable. And while whose seem a lot, i think that centralized exchange hacks combined with exit scams are far worse.

As in comparison bitfinex lost $623 million in one hack, coincheck $560 million, and FTX just got hacked for $600 million. And if we start to count exit scams, remember that plustoken team got $2.9 Billion and ran. Not to mention all the leaked user data with all the cexes.

Crypto Attack Swipes $100 Million From DeFi Service Mango
"Incident comes just days after $100 million Binance Coin hack
Mango says attackers indicated a willingness to communicate

An attacker spirited away about $100 million from decentralized finance provider Mango by manipulating the price of its token in an exploit that wiped out depositors on the crypto platform.

The heist began with two accounts funded with the stablecoin USD Coin, the platform said Wednesday on Twitter. The accounts took large positions in Mango perpetual futures, causing the price of the Mango token to spike."

Hackers have been able to steal NFTs like magic with a little-known OpenSea feature. It's the newest hack, and multiple millions in Apes have been lost to it already.
https://twitter.com/harpieio/status/1606034727491624961?

The OpenSea contract allows for "gasless sales," where users can sell NFTs by signing an unreadable message like the one above.
Here's the catch: you can also set up ⚠️private auctions with custom prices⚠️ with these unreadable signatures.

FBI accuses North Korean government hackers of stealing $100M in Harmony bridge theft
"The FBI accused two groups of North Korean government hackers of carrying out last year’s heist of $100 million in crypto stolen from a company that allows users to transfer cryptocurrency from one blockchain to another.

On Monday, the FBI announced that the Lazarus Group and APT38 — two groups linked to the North Korean government by both cybersecurity companies and government agencies — were responsible for the hack against the Horizon bridge, created by the U.S. company Harmony, in June 2022."

[Daltonik]

The BonqDAO protocol lost $120 million as a result of a hacker attack, where the hacker used the method of manipulating the price of the ALBT token, so he informed the protocol that the cost of the ALBT token is equal to 5 billion MATIC, which the protocol actually agreed with, despite the fact that the BonqDAO protocol has an oracle from Chainlink.
