🚀 Tapioca Foundation Offers $1 Million Bounty To Attacker

According to Cointelegraph, the Tapioca Foundation has proposed a $1 million bounty to an attacker who stole $4.7 million from its decentralized finance protocol in what it described as a 'social engineering attack.' The foundation made the offer in an onchain message to the attacker's crypto wallet on October 20, suggesting the attacker could legally keep the bounty if they returned the remaining $3.7 million. The bounty, offered in Tether (USDT), is significantly higher than the typical 10% offered in such cases.

The attack, which occurred on October 18, involved the theft of 591 Ether (ETH) and $2.8 million worth of USD Coin (USDC). The attacker compromised the ownership of the vesting contract for Tapioca DAO Token (TAP) and the UDSO stablecoin, allowing them to claim and sell vested TAP and mint an infinite amount of USDO, draining a liquidity pool for USDO and USDC.

Tapioca co-founder Matt Marino revealed on October 19 that the attack was a result of fellow co-founder 'Rektora' being phished. Rektora had downloaded malicious software during an interview process, which replaced a transaction with a malicious one, granting the attackers access to the contracts. Marino later claimed that the foundation had 'hacked the hacker' and recovered 1,000 ETH, worth over $2.7 million, which was collateral backing the USDO stablecoin for a liquidity pool.

The attacker withdrew nearly 30 million TAP tokens from the vesting contract, swapped them for about $1.5 million worth of ETH, converted that into USDT, and sent the funds to the BNB Chain, where they remain. The attack has caused the TAP token to lose nearly all its value, currently trading at 2 cents, down from around $1.40 prior to the attack, according to CoinGecko.

🚀 Security Breach Involving WLFI Tokens Linked to Malicious Contract

According to Foresight News, SlowMist founder Yu Jian has reported a security breach involving the theft of WLFI tokens from multiple addresses. The analysis indicates that the attack was executed through a malicious 7702 delegate contract, which requires the prior leakage of private keys. Hackers strategically placed the malicious 7702 delegate address in the target wallet, subsequently transferring all ETH and valuable tokens, such as WLFI, leaving no balance behind.

🚀 Rising Concerns Over Violent Robberies in Crypto Community

According to BlockBeats, a recent armed robbery involving Lachy Groom, the former boyfriend of OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman, has stirred the crypto community. Groom was robbed of $11 million in crypto assets last Saturday night. The assailants disguised themselves as delivery personnel, entered his residence, held him at gunpoint, assaulted him, and bound him with tape before emptying his crypto accounts and stealing his phone and computer.

This incident is part of a series of recent reports on crypto asset robberies. On November 22, Russian police in Saint Petersburg arrested a man who broke into a trading platform's office, detonated two fake grenades, and ignited a smoke bomb. He demanded the transfer of all crypto assets to his personal wallet but was ultimately apprehended.

In another case, a Hong Kong man was sentenced to seven years in prison in Canada for his involvement in a brutal home invasion. Four attackers disguised as postal workers entered a home in British Columbia, subjected a family of three to 13.5 hours of assault, waterboarding, and threats of sexual violence, and stole $1.6 million worth of Bitcoin.

On November 4, two men and three women traveling from Oxford to London were attacked. The robbers stole watches and phones and forced one victim to transfer crypto assets from their account. They made off with a watch valued at £450,000 and £1.1 million (approximately $1.44 million) in cryptocurrency.

These violent robberies have become a focal point of concern within the crypto community. Steve Krystek, CEO of personal security firm PFC Safeguards, noted an increase in kidnappings targeting cryptocurrency investors. Some have humorously referred to these attacks as "wrench attacks," suggesting that the security of crypto assets depends on whether users can withstand a $5 wrench beating.

🚀 Yearn Finance's yETH Faces Exploit Impacting Funds

According to Foresight News, Yearn Finance's yETH has been targeted in an exploit. The attacker exploited a vulnerability allowing unlimited minting of yETH, swiftly draining the entire yETH pool in a single transaction. On-chain data reveals that approximately 1,000 ETH, valued at around $3 million, was subsequently transferred to Tornado Cash. The attack appears to have been executed through several newly deployed contracts, some of which self-destructed immediately after the transaction. The extent of the impact on the original $11 million fund size of the yETH pool remains uncertain. Yearn Finance officials are investigating the incident and have emphasized that their V2 and V3 vaults remain unaffected.

🚀 Unknown Contract on BSC Chain Suffers $100,000 Loss Due to Design Flaw

BlockSec Phalcon reported on the X platform that its system detected an attack on an unknown contract on the BSC chain, resulting in a loss of approximately $100,000. According to Odaily, the root cause was identified as a design flaw in the burn pair mechanism.

The attacker executed the attack through two reverse exchanges. Initially, they extracted 99.56% of PGNLZ tokens from the pool during the first exchange. Subsequently, during the second exchange, when selling PGNLZ, the transferFrom function triggered the destruction of 99.9% of PGNLP tokens and performed a sync operation. This led to an increase in the PGNLP price, allowing the attacker to exploit the manipulated price to withdraw nearly all USDT from the pool.
