Hacker to Receive $10 Million If He Returns $80 Million Stolen From Rari Capital’s Lending Pools

Rari Capital, a decentralized finance (DeFI) platform, has recently been hacked for more than $80 million in various crypto assets held in multiple lending pools.

In a recent tweet by the smart contract audit company BlockSec, an unknown hacker targeted Rari Capital’s Fuse platform, a protocol that enables DeFi developers to create lending markets.

According to the firm, the hacker took advantage of a reentrancy vulnerability in the protocol’s smart contract. Among those losing funds as reported by BlockSec is Fei Protocol, a development team that runs a decentralized US dollar-pegged stablecoin called Fei USD.

The team at Fei Protocol oversees the lending markets on Fuse, where users can deposit funds for an annual yield and also take loans in form of FEI stablecoin.

BlockSec tweeted, “Our monitoring system detected that multiple pools related to @RariCapital @feiprotocol were attacked, and lost more than 80M US dollars. The root cause is due to a typical reentrancy vulnerability.”
