CIVNFT | Amount Lost: $180K
On July 8, the CIVNFT exploit on the Ethereum chain caused a loss of $459K. The root cause was the absence of access control for the 7ca06d68() function in the CIVNFT contract. This allowed the attacker to initiate callback functions that transferred CIV and USDT funds to Uniswap for selling. To prevent such attacks, the exploit contract should have included function modifiers to ensure that only the contract owner could transfer funds.
On June 27, the Themis Protocol exploit on the Arbitrum chain resulted in a $370K loss due to an inaccurate price oracle. The attacker started by borrowing 40,000 ETH using flash loans from Aave and Uniswap. They used this ETH as collateral to borrow DAI, USDT, ARB, and WBTC tokens. Next, the attacker deposited 55 ETH into the Balancer pool and received 54.7 B-wstETH-WETH-Stable-gauge BLP tokens in return. After that, they exchanged 39,725 WETH for Themis, which significantly increased the WETH amount in the pool, manipulating the price oracle. Finally, the attacker sold the B-wstETH-WETH-Stable-gauge BLP tokens at an artificially inflated price, making a profit.

On June 23, the Shido exploit on the BNB chain caused a loss of $238K due to a vulnerability in the lock and claim logic. The attacker used the ShidoLock contract, which allows users to lock old SHIDO tokens (V1) and claim new SHIDO tokens (V2). The attacker started by borrowing 40 WBNB through a flash loan and exchanged the funds for 10E9 V1 SHIDO tokens. Next, they used the lockTokens() and claimTokens() functions to acquire 10E18 V2 SHIDO tokens. The attacker made a profit by taking advantage of a configuration error in the token swap between V1 and V2 SHIDO tokens, where the unlock time failed to update and was fixed at 14:00 on June 23, 2023.

On June 14, the DEPUSDT and LEVUSDT exploit caused a loss of $105K due to an access control vulnerability. The attacker exploited a flaw in the CurveSwap contract's public approveToken() function, which lacked the necessary modifiers to verify owner permissions. By exploiting this vulnerability, the attacker was able to become an approved spender and transfer DEPUSDT and LEVUSDT tokens, resulting in the loss of funds.
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.
