According to the latest news from @bwenews this afternoon (2nd), the DeFi protocol Venus Protocol was hacked, with losses of approximately US$30 million.
However, it is worth noting that the official X account of Venus Protocol has not yet confirmed this matter.
However, after the news was released, the security agency Paidun quickly issued a statement on the X platform stating that the investigation results of the suspicious transaction on the Venus Protocol chain showed that a user was the victim of a phishing attack and approved a malicious transaction, resulting in a loss of approximately US$27 million.
PeckShield Alert: A @VenusProtocol user lost approximately $27 million in cryptocurrency to a phishing scam. The victim approved a malicious transaction authorizing the transfer of tokens to the attacker's address (0x7fd8…202a).
In addition, SlowMist founder Yu Xian also posted a message later, saying that Venus Protocol should not have been attacked this time, but Venus Protocol users were targeted by hackers, but the specific situation still needs to be investigated.
$XVS briefly fell 6%
However, due to this news, the Venus Protocol token still fell by 6% in the short term, and was temporarily reported at US$6.05 at the time of writing.
