At least two DeFi projects were targeted by significant exploits in the early hours of today, resulting in millions of dollars in losses.<\/p>\n

Sonne Finance exploited<\/h2>\n

Decentralized liquidity provider Sonne Finance fell victim to a $20 million exploit on its Optimism network-based USDC<\/a> and Wrapped Ethereum (WETH) contracts, according<\/a> to blockchain security firm Cyvers.<\/p>\n

In a May 15 statement, the DeFi protocol confirmed the incident and attributed the exploit to a donation attack on its Compound v2 forks. It stated<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“We avoided the issue in the past, by adding the markets with 0% collateral factors, adding collateral and burn them, only then increase the c-factors according to the proposals.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

However, an integration attempt of VELO into the Optimism<\/a> market allowed the attacker to exploit the protocol unnoticed, resulting in the loss.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, security experts prevented an additional $6.5 million theft by injecting $100 VELO as collateral into the soVELO pool.<\/p>\n

Sonne Finance has expressed readiness to offer a bounty to the attacker as efforts to recover the funds continue.<\/p>\n

Following the theft, the price of SONNE, a digital asset connected to the project, fell by more than 60% to $0.02617 as of press time.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin DeFi project lose over $4 million<\/h2>\n

ALEX Lab, a Bitcoin<\/a> DeFi application, lost over $4 million in various tokens to a hacking incident earlier today.<\/p>\n

Blockchain security firm CertiK<\/a> reported<\/a> that the attackers likely gained access to the private key controlling ALEX's XLink bridge. This service enables users to transfer tokens across different blockchains.<\/p>\n

The hacker successfully moved approximately $300,000 worth of BTC, $3.3 million in stablecoins, and $75,000 of Sugar Kingdom tokens.<\/p>\n

ALEX Lab developers confirmed the hack and asserted that they had identified the attacker. The team also stated<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“A significant amount of the funds associated with the hacker has been frozen by major exchanges, preventing further misuse.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Nevertheless, the project offered a 10% bounty to the hacker, adding that:<\/p>\n

“ALEX assures that upon compliance, there will be no further pursuit or law enforcement involvement. This offer stands until 18 May at 0800 UTC. The individual responsible should contact security@alexgo.io.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
