Sturdy Finance | Amount Lost: $770K
On June 12, the Sturdy Finance exploit resulted in a loss of $770K due to Balancer.fi Vault contract's read-only reentrancy vulnerability. The attacker borrowed 50,000 WstETH and 60,000 WETH from Aave through a flash loan. They then deposited 1,100 ETH into Sturdy's steCRV pool, minting 1,023 steCRV. Using the minted steCRV and 233 cB-stETH-STABLE as collateral, the attacker borrowed 513 WETH from Sturdy. This deposit manipulated the cB-stETH-STABLE price by exploiting Balancer's joinOrExit() function's read-only reentrancy vulnerability. The Balancer accounting values were not updated during fallback calls, leading to the Sturdy price oracle incorrectly calculating the cB-stETH-STABLE price.
On June 11, the Atlantis exploit on the BNB chain caused a loss of $1M. The exploit occurred because the attacker managed to become the owner of the Atlantis proxy contract and modify the implementation logic to transfer funds. The exploit took advantage of the time lock period after initiating a proposal in the Atlantis proxy contract, allowing the attacker to gain control. The attacker created a governance proposal in Compound’s GovernorBravo contract, set the admin of multiple ABep20Delegator contracts as attacker contracts, and voted to pass the governance proposal. After waiting for the time lock of 172,800 seconds, the attacker acquired ownership of the proxy contract. Subsequently, the attacker introduced a backdoor function into the implementation logic, enabling them to transfer user assets to their own contract.

On June 1, the Cellframe exploit on the BNB chain led to a loss of $74K as a result of CELL token price manipulation. The attacker utilized a flash loan of 1,000 BNB from DODO and 500,000 CELL tokens from PancakeSwap V3. By migrating CELL tokens, the attacker manipulated the liquidity pools between the old and new Cellframe contracts. Their actions involved decreasing the amount of CELL tokens and increasing the amount of BNB tokens in the old liquidity pool, ultimately inflating the token prices.

On May 23, the LunaFi exploit on the Polygon chain resulted in a loss of $35K. The attacker deposited funds into the LunaFi contract, claimed rewards, and withdrew funds to make a profit. The issue arose from a missing time lock in LunaFi's VLFI_V8 contract's external claimRewards() function, enabling the attacker to repeatedly claim rewards. As a result, the LFI token price plummeted by 96%. LunaFi acknowledged the exploit and assured affected users that they would be reimbursed for their losses.

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.
Follow-up: Conduct a follow-up review to ensure that the remediation steps were effective and that the smart contract is now secure.

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.
