๐จ $9.5M zkLend DeFi Heist โ Will the Hacker Take the Deal? ๐จ
The DeFi world is reeling from a massive exploit on zkLend, a leading protocol on Starknet. In a daring attack, a hacker siphoned off 3,600 ETH ($9.5M!) by exploiting a vulnerability in zkLendโs smart contract.
The Heist Unfolds
The attack was swift and brutal, leaving zkLend scrambling to control the damage. In response, theyโve halted all withdrawals and sent a direct on-chain message to the hacker, offering a 10% bounty (360 ETH) if the funds are returned by February 14, 00:00 UTC.
zkLend Fights Back
Determined to turn the tables, the zkLend team is collaborating with top security firms and blockchain analysts to trace the stolen funds. Their bold bounty offer signals a willingness to negotiate, but will the hacker bite?
Whatโs Next?
This breach is a huge test for zkLend. If the hacker returns the funds, they might salvage their reputation. If not, itโs a long road ahead to rebuild trust and security.
The DeFi Wake-Up Call
This attack is yet another stark reminder of the risks in DeFi. Security must be a top priority as decentralized finance growsโbecause when millions are at stake, hackers are always lurking.
