PeckShield, a blockchain security firm, has confirmed the attack on Yearn Finance, citing the main reason for the theft as a misconfigured yUSDT. According to the company, the yUSDT was exploited to mint a huge yUSDT from only $10K of USDT. Then, the yUSDT was cashed out by swapping to other stablecoins.
This exploit comes only two months after Yearn Finance joined forces with many leading DeFi protocols to champion decentralization. Following the attack, the company issued a statement in an attempt to assuage its users. They have pointed to the problem being rooted in iearn and say that the attack doesn’t impact current Yearn contracts or protocols.

Through the native RobotEra market, players will exchange continents, robot companions, and other NFT commodities.
The Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) structure of the game allows players to participate in the governance of the planet.
Under El Salvador’s Digital Assets Issuance Law, the country’s National Digital Asset Commission (NDAC) made the exchange the first international digital asset platform to obtain approval.
The new license will allow Bitfinex Securities to facilitate the issuance and secondary trading of assets. It will do so with clearly defined rights and obligations, which were outlined in the new digital asset regulatory regime.
El Salvador’s National Congress passed the Digital Issuance Law last January in an effort to foster increased investments in the country’s crypto sector. The law builds on the nation’s groundbreaking decision to adopt Bitcoin (BTC) as a legal tender.
All of El Salvador’s crypto efforts are focused on using the crypto industry to attract foreign investors and fuel the country’s economy.

A barber from Brazil was involved in a supermarket bombing after being refused a ransom paid out in BTC. The man, who had no previous record, demanded a BTC payment of just under $61,000.
The incident, which took place in Rondonópolis, a town in Mato Grosso, began when a man told a supermarket chain’s customer service that he would detonate an explosive device unless he received BTC.
After being refused the ransom, the barber detonated a homemade device, which left two people badly injured. Following the first explosion, the man threatened to detonate more devices unless he received payment.
However, according to police, after the man saw the devastation caused by the first explosion, which badly injured a child, he no longer wanted to continue his plan. Police say that the bomber confessed to planting bombs in supermarkets.
SushiSwap saw its smart contract exploited and then distributed across various blockchain networks. The contract aggregates trade liquidity from multiple sources and identifies the best prices for swapping coins.
A developer from DefiLlama suggested that only users who had swapped in the protocol four days prior to the attack should be affected by the attack. Following the hack, Sushi’s lead developer urged users to revoke permissions for all contracts on the protocol. He also created a list of contracts on GitHub with different blockchains that require revocation to address the problem.
Luckily for those affected in the attack, SushiSwap has managed to recover a large portion of the stolen funds through a white hat security process.
