Decentralized Finance platform遭51% Attack Hacker670万美元操纵失败并自称为渗透测试

Recently, a DeFi stablecoin network platform based on a certain protocol encountered a 51% Attack event. According to reports, four Miners jointly acted to control about 70% of the Computing Power of the whole network, thereby tampering with the platform's data.

These attackers initially had a wallet balance of only $11, but they rapidly increased the balance to $6.7 million by manipulating the price of a stablecoin pegged to the Japanese yen. They then converted these funds into a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar on the platform. The attackers next attempted to exchange more tokens in the spot trading system and planned to disperse the funds across multiple wallets, but this attempt ultimately ended in failure.

Regarding this incident, an executive from a certain company stated that the attacker's actions only affected the balance in their own wallet. Due to the protocol design not allowing for the rapid transfer of large amounts of assets, the attacker was unable to transfer these stablecoins outside of the platform. Although they created a large number of synthetic assets, they were actually unable to cash them out.

The platform stated that the attack lasted for about 20 minutes, but it did not affect the funds' safety of other users.

Interestingly, after the asset transfer failed, the attacker proactively contacted the platform's official team. They claimed that this operation was merely a "maximum malicious penetration test" aimed at identifying potential vulnerabilities in the system and notifying the platform's core developers of the findings. The attacker also stated that they had destroyed all the problematic stablecoins generated during this process.

This attacked platform is a decentralized non-custodial stablecoin network, whose stablecoins are pegged to various world currencies and assets, including gold, euros, and US dollars. The platform claims to be fully auditable and open-source, designed to facilitate value transfer and simplify the conversion process between different assets.

This event once again highlights the security challenges faced in the DeFi field and reminds us that we need to continuously improve security mechanisms in the application of blockchain technology to address various potential attacks and vulnerabilities.
