BNB Smart Chain Hit with Copycat Vyper Attack: $73K Exploited ⚠️
Both Ethereum-based protocols and BNB Smart Chain have experienced #copycat exploits. The vulnerability in the Vyper programming language has led to these incidents, affecting DeFi pools on both platforms.
Blockchain security firm #BlockSec reported that approximately $73,000 worth of cryptocurrencies were stolen on BSC across three exploits. Meanwhile, similar exploits on Curve Finance have resulted in losses exceeding $41 million.
In the aftermath of the exploits, white hat and black hat hackers have been actively trying to disrupt each other's attempts or recover funds.
One whitehat, "c0ffebabe.eth," has returned around 2,900 Ether worth over $5 million to Curve and appears to have moved 1,000 ETH to a newly-created wallet for safekeeping.
