Decentralized Finance crisis 53 hours 25.46 million dollars in stolen assets fully recovered.

Decentralized Finance圈内人士经历了一场惊心动魄的53小时。

Fortunately, the hacker's methods were not sophisticated. On the second day after the assets were stolen, the security team successfully sketched a profile of the hacker by analyzing the traces before and after the attack. They immediately collaborated with various parties both domestically and internationally to obtain key clues, gradually approaching the hacker's true identity. By the third day, under immense pressure, the hacker took the initiative to contact the project team and began to return part of the assets. After further communication, all the stolen assets were ultimately fully recovered.

Although this crisis was resolved without major issues, industry insiders should take this opportunity to deeply reflect on and discuss the security issues in the Decentralized Finance field.

Let's review the events of this hacking incident.

On April 18 and 19, the DeFi smart contracts were attacked for two consecutive days, resulting in total losses of up to $25.46 million. Although a certain DEX was attacked first, the loss of only $217,000 did not attract widespread attention. However, just 24 hours later, Lendf.Me also fell victim to a similar attack, with losses reaching as high as $25.24 million, and the liquidity pool was nearly emptied.
