In the most recent hack, around $7 million was stolen as attackers discovered a vulnerability in the contracts of the DEI token. Some of the attackers were apparent whitehats, who executed the exploit to safeguard the funds until they could be returned to a secure address. As of May 8, $5.5 million of the $7 million stolen had been returned.
Deus Finance suffers third hack
Deus Finance suffered yet another hack as around $7 million was taken from the protocol. This was not the first time the platform had been targeted, suffering a $3 million exploit in March 2022 and a $13.4 million exploit in April 2022. Then, in May 2022, Deus Finance's algorithmic stablecoin lost its intended dollar peg in the wake of the Terra collapse and never recovered.
