Attacker Makes Away With $400,000 in SVT Flashloan Exploit: Report

  • Certik Alert today reported a flashloan exploit involving SVT tokens that resulted in a $400k loss. 
  • The attacker has deposited 1000 BNB, worth $217k into Tornado Cash. 
  • According to Certik, there has been over 12 exploits recorded since last week.

Blockchain security firm Certik Alert earlier today reported a flashloan exploit on SVT tokens that resulted in a $400,000 loss. According to the report, the attacker took advantage of a vulnerable contract for SVT trading. The unsuspecting user fell victim to the attack, and lost their funds as a result.

Certik Alert said the exploit was made because of the trading’s flawed economic model. It stated that the attacker used a pattern of repeated buy and sell operations to gain the $400k. 

At the present time, the attacker has deposited 1000 BNB, worth $217,000 into decentralized cryptocurrency tumbler Tornado Cash. The platform is a popular stop for attackers hoping to wash their exploit proceeds to avoid suspicion.  

Meanwhile, Certik earlier covered that since last week friday, there has been over 12 exploits, including five Discord hacks, two Phishing attacks and one Twitter hack. According to the firm, these attacks have led to loss of over $8.2 million. 

SVT is the native token of defunct Solana-based decentralized finance (DeFi) platform Solvent Protocol. The platform ceased operations earlier in May 2023, while giving users till July 31st, 2023 to withdraw their assets and sell back their SVT tokens. As announced by the team, the SVT tokens were to be disposed of as they wouldn’t offer any future utility. 

The team also asked the community members to avoid SVT-related market liquidity pools on decentralized exchanges. Interestingly, the token has thrived with considerable trading activities on exchanges. 

Data from CoinMarketCap shows that the token has added a price gain of 7.9% in the past month. Price-chart data also show that the token added over 5% within the past week, and 0.67% in the past 24 hours. However, the price trends shows that the token might be subject of several pump and dumps, considering its high volatility.

SPYRO Price Prediction: Dragon-Themed Meme Coin SPYRO Plunges 32% While Solana Competitor Smog Dominates With 68% Pump

Image
The SPYRO price plummeted more than 32% over the past 24 hours to trade at $0.000005202 as of 2:00 am EST as investors dump their holdings in the meme coin. The SPYRO Price Re-Enters A Consolidation Channel Daily chart for SPYRO/USD (Source: TradingView ) The SPYRO price dropped back into the consolidation channel between $0.000003319 and $0.000006428 over the past 3 hours. Should sellers continue to exert pressure on the meme coin, it may retest the lower boundary of this sideways range in the coming couple of hours. The crypto may even lose the support of the $0.000003319 price point and drop to the subsequent mark at $0.0000016 through the course of the next 24 hours. This bearish thesis could be invalidated if the SPYRO price manages to close an hourly candle above $0.000006428 in the next 12 hours. In this alternative scenario, the crypto may look to challenge the next major resistance level at $0.000009374 in the following 24 hours. SPYRO Price May Begin To Climb As Techn
