The Curio defi project recently experienced a significant attack, resulting in an estimated damage of $16 million, as reported by Cyvers Alerts experts. The hack was likely due to a vulnerability in the permissioned access logic, allowing the attacker to create an additional 1 billion CGT tokens valued at nearly $40 million.
Community Alert: A smart contract exploit within the Curio ecosystem has been identified. The MakerDAO-based smart contract used on the Ethereum side was exploited, leading to the security breach. The Curio team is actively working to address the situation and provide updates to the community.
