Deus Finance Was Exploited Again, Lost Over $13 Million

Deus Finance was hacked for $13.4 million earlier today, according to blockchain security firm PeckShield. This comes only a few months after the protocol was hacked in the same way.

The hacker used a flashloan-assisted price oracle manipulation that “reads from the StableV1 AMM – USDC/DEI pair,” which is a well-worn path.

The attacker was successful in manipulating the price of collateral DEI, which he then utilized to borrow and drain the pool.  In total, the anonymous hacker was able to take $13.4 million in digital assets. PeckShield, on the other hand, warned that the protocol’s losses may be far larger.

The project team has halted DEI lending on the platform after becoming aware of the hack. The development team is working to solve the problem, and further information will be published soon.

To launch the hack, the attacker borrowed roughly 800 ETH, which he withdrew from Tornado Cash and tunneled to Fantom using Multichain. The hacker’s current address indicates that they have exchanged the stolen cash for ETH and returned it to Tornado Cash.

This wasn’t Deus Finance’s first security breach. The protocol was exploited on March 15, leading to the gain of ~$3M for the hacker (The protocol loss may be larger), including 200,000 DAI and 1101.8 ETH.
