Yearn finance was exploited for $300k

Bennie 🟣@benhwx

Yearn ( @yearnfi ) has suffered an exploit, with an estimated loss of ~$300,000, and the attacker has already swapped the stolen funds into 103 ETH, now sitting at 0x78921ce8d0361193b0d34bc76800ef4754ba9151a1837492f17c559f23771c43. > The alert was flagged publicly by https://t.co/qmm4WIvWxa

yearn @yearnfi

We're aware of an issue with iEarn's immutable TUSD contract, deployed over 2100 days ago, unrelated to Yearn vaults. The problem is exclusive to iEarn and does not impact current Yearn contracts or vaults. The incident is similar to this 2023 iEarn USDT hack. https://t.co/osI43q2udb
