Ukrainian authorities, in collaboration with Europol, have successfully exposed a 29-year-old individual involved in an intricate cryptojacking scheme, illegally mining over $2 million in cryptocurrencies. The suspect, by compromising cloud accounts, created one million virtual computers for extensive mining. The investigation was initiated based on a tip-off from a cloud service provider. The perpetrator is set to face criminal prosecution.
The attack used an public token burn exploit.
According to Lodestar, the attacker manipulated the price of the plvGLP token before using the inflated token to borrow all of the platform’s liquidity.
A new exploit steals money from owners of a transaction by canceling a transaction and taking a disproportionately high transaction fee.
DeFi lending platform Moola Market has been exploited for $8.4 million, according to various sources.
A founder of a DEX competitor to GMX said on Sept. 2 that an exploit could be pulled off on GMX which could leave GLP holders short. 16 days later, it happened.
No user funds have been affected by the exploit, but Inverse Finance has incurred a debt and offered the attacker a bounty to return the stolen funds.
Although the airdrop took place less than two weeks ago, problems have already arisen for the vaunted layer-2 scaling solution’s team and market maker.
