DeFi遭遇2546万美元Hacker攻击 53小时内成功追回全部资产

The DeFi industry has gone through a thrilling 53 hours. Fortunately, the hacker's methods were not sophisticated. On the second day after the theft, the security team successfully depicted the hacker's profile based on the traces left by the hacker, and obtained important clues through cross-comparison with domestic and international resources. On the third day, under immense pressure, the hacker proactively communicated with the project party and began to return some of the assets. After further negotiations, all the stolen assets were ultimately recovered.

Although this crisis has been satisfactorily resolved, industry participants should take a moment of celebration to engage in a profound reflection and broad discussion about Decentralized Finance.

The Shocking Moment in the DeFi Industry

In order to help readers who are not familiar with this event better understand the situation, let's review the process of this hacker attack.

On April 18th and 19th, two attacks on smart contracts occurred in the DeFi field, with total losses reaching as high as $25.46 million. The first to be attacked was a certain DEX, but the stolen amount was only $217,000, which did not attract widespread attention. However, just 24 hours later, another lending platform faced a similar attack method, resulting in losses of up to $25.24 million, with the liquidity pool nearly emptied, leaving only $6.

Surprisingly, in this crisis, many victims have requested hackers to return their funds through messages. Although this behavior seems powerless, it also reflects the victims' helplessness and hope.
