After the stablecoin exchange project Platypus was hacked, at least $2.4 million in funds have been recovered with the help of blockchain security company BlockSec. Blocksec's visualization tool MetalSleuth said that of the nearly $9.1 million in funds stolen from Platypus, the attacker was only able to cash out $270,000.
BlockSec exploited a vulnerability in the attack contract and used a callback function to transfer funds from the attack contract to Platypus’ account. It has currently recovered $2.4 million.
As previously reported, yesterday, Platypus notified the community that its native stablecoin USP was hacked, and the main pool lost a total of $8.5 million. Yu Xian said that after decompiling the attack contract, it was found that the attacker did not implement the withdrawal function in the contract, resulting in the inability to withdraw the attack proceeds, and $8.5 million was sealed in the attack contract.
