- October 2022 is the month with the most number of crypto hacks.
On December 2, 2022, An anonymous group of hackers drained around $15 million in liquidity from BNB Chain-based staking platform Helio after exploiting an oracle issue with the platform’s on-chain data.
Oracles are third-party services that collect outsourced data from several other blockchains. Decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols use oracles to ensure their lending, borrowing, and other services are accurate.
Helio exploitation update came into the limelight an hour after the DeFi platform Ankr was attacked, and around $5 million were stolen from the DeFi platform. According to the report, the attackers were able to mint six quadrillion aBNBc tokens, and after minting, the attackers changed them into five million USDC stablecoins.
Moreover, it is difficult to predict whether the same group of hackers operated the attacks.
According to Blockchain data on Friday morning, the Helio attacker acquired around 183K aBNBc tokens using 10 BNB and further delayed oracle data on Helio, then allowed the attacker to borrow a sum of $16 million of HAY stablecoins.
Nowadays, crypto attacks and hacks are quite common, and as per reliable reports, November 2022 is the month in which most crypto attacks occur.
Earlier on November 1, 2022, peak shield published its data regarding cripto hacks. It was noted that around $3 billion was looted in October, double the total amount in 2021.
Cele mai mari hack-uri de active digitale au avut loc în octombrie, iar cea de-a doua ca mărime a avut loc în martie 2022, cu fonduri furate de 710 de milioane de dolari. Cele mai multe au dus la exploatarea Podului Ronin, în valoare de 625 milioane USD.
According to PeckShield data, the biggest hack occurred in October 2022, with the BNB chain causing a loss of about $586 million.
Pe 12 octombrie, Mango Markets a declarat că a suferit un hack deoarece un hacker a influențat un preț oracol și a șters lichiditatea. Aproape 100 de milioane de dolari par să fi fost trecute în hack.
Ceea ce s-a întâmplat a fost o exploatare economică autofinanțată, în care hackerul a umplut un cont cu aproape 5.5 milioane USDC. Apoi au folosit acest lucru pentru a renunța la un contract futures etern pentru tokenul MNGO și au tranzacționat împotriva acestuia.
On October 2, 2022, A Twitter post from Transit Swap’s official account created an environment of turmoil among investors. The notification was regarding a hack in the Transit Swap Ecosystem of around $ 23 million U.S dollars.
