Cross-chain decentralized exchange WOOFi hacked for over $8M.
The exploiter borrowed ~7.7M WOO as well as some other assets and sold the WOO into WOOFi. At this point WOOFi’s sPMM incorrectly adjusted WOO to an extreme price which was close to zero, and the exploiter then swapped out 10M WOO in the same transaction with almost no cost. The exploiter repeated this attack 3 times within a very short period of time, which netted about $8.75m in profits after returning the flash loans.
The WOO price has decreased by 10% in 24 hours.

Fantom Foundation awarded default Judgement against Multichain.
In July 2023, an exploit on the Multichain bridge saw the depletion of over $210 million in assets across various chains, including Fantom, Ethereum, BNB, Cronos, Polygon, Arbitrum, zkSync, Optimism, and Moonbeam. Fantom’s ecosystem losses amounted to approximately one-third of total losses.
After all attempts to engage with the former directors and key personnel of the Multichain Foundation failed, Fantom filed an action against the Multichain Foundation for breach of contract and fraudulent misrepresentations for losses sustained by Fantom.
