According to PeckShield data, Deus Finance was hacked, with the perpetrator stealing about $3 million in DAI and Ethereum (ETH). The intrusion was caused by a flash-loan manipulation of a price oracle, according to the blockchain security firm.
On March 15, PeckShield took to Twitter to discuss the latest attack in the decentralized finance industry. It was this time against Deus Finance, a multi-token DeFi marketplace where users may create synthetic stocks, trading platforms, and other instruments.
The attack was blamed on a “flash-loan-assisted manipulation of price oracle that reads the price from the pair of StableV1 AMM – USDC/DEI, so that even average users, sadly, become insolvent!” according to the security resource.
According to the business, the hacker took 200,000 DAO and 1101.8 ETH, totaling $3 million in digital assets
PeckShield further revealed that the attacker used Multichain to send the cash to TornadoCash, a cryptocurrency mixer (previously Anyswap). “flash-loan-assisted price oracle manipulation that reads the price from the pair of StableV1 AMM – USDC/DEI, causing even ordinary users to become insolvent!”
Shortly after, the team behind Deus Finance confirmed the reports about the exploit on Twitter. They explained that the DEI lending contract has been closed, and “both DEUS and DEI are unaffected.” The team also promised to provide updates as it goes on with its investigation.
