Ara | Amount Lost: $124K
On June 19, the Ara exploit on the BNB chain caused a loss of $125K. The attacker initially borrowed 1.2M USDT and manipulated the price of ARA tokens by performing a large swap of approximately 680K ARA tokens. This allowed the attacker to swap overpriced ARA tokens for USDT and make a profit after repaying the flash loan. The lack of limits and authorization on ARA-USDT swaps enabled the attacker to execute these large swaps.

On June 18, the Midas Capital exploit on the BNB chain resulted in a $600K loss due to a rounding issue. The attacker utilized flash loans and donated LP and ANKR tokens to Midas Capital's lending contract, which is a fork of Compound Finance's CErc20 contract. They minted and supplied 21,184 LP tokens, redeeming all but 1001 wei of cTokens. By donating 259,826.61 HAY/BUSD LP tokens to the exploit contract, the attacker inflated the exchange rate to nearly 1,001 wei cTokens equaling $519K. Exploiting this inflated rate, they withdrew 519 LP tokens with 1 wei of underlying assets. 519 of 259,826 LP tokens is 0.1998% of the total supply but the exploit contract rounded it to 1 wei of the total 1001 wei instead of 2 wei. The attacker eventually repaid the flash loans and made a profit of $600K.

On June 17, the Pawnfi exploit resulted in a loss of $820K due to a borrowing logic vulnerability. Pawnfi’s ApeStaking contract allows users to use NFTs as collateral for borrowing, but it doesn't verify if the NFT is actually transferred. Exploiting this vulnerability, the attacker invoked the depositAndBorrowApeAndStake() function to borrow APE tokens using an NFT that was already staked in the APE Staking Pool. The attacker then withdrew the APE tokens, making a profit.
On June 14, the Hasflow exploit on multiple chains resulted in a $600K loss. The lack of authorization checks during token transfers was the main cause of the exploit. The exploit contract's private 0x1ce5() function had a transferFrom() function that enabled token transfers by any user. The attacker, who is believed to be a white-hat hacker, allowed affected users to recover the stolen assets. The Hashflow team announced that all affected users would be reimbursed.
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

Huobi | Amount Lost: $8M
On September 24th, the Huobi Global exploit on the Ethereum Mainnet resulted in a $8 million loss due to the compromise of private keys. The attacker executed the attack in a single transaction by sending 4,999 ETH to a malicious contract. The attacker then created a second malicious contract and transferred 1,001 ETH to this new contract. Huobi has since confirmed that they have identified the attacker and has extended an offer of a 5% white hat bounty reward if the funds are returned to the exchange.
