Shortly after the exploit, Summer Finance announced it had "no viable path forward other than to wind down operations". They added, "a meaningful portion of the team's own capital was held in the affected vaults, removing the runway we needed to rebuild."
Summer Finance exploited for $6 million, shuts down
Summer Finance, a defi platform that provides "institutional defi vault infrastructure", was exploited for $6 million in an apparent flash loan attack. The attacker used a flash loan to deposit $64.8 million and then withdraw $70.9 million, taking advantage of a price manipulation bug that allowed them to withdraw more than they deposited.
