🚀 Balancer V2 Pools Affected by Vulnerability, Investigation Underway
#BalancerV2 #Vulnerability #ComposableStablePools #BlockchainSecurity #DeFi #SecurityInvestigation #Balancer #BugBounty #DeFiCommunity #FraudulentMessages #SecurityAdvisory #CryptoSecurity #XPlatform #CryptoNews
According to Odaily, a vulnerability has impacted Balancer V2's composable stable pools, as announced by Banlancer's official account on the X platform. The issue was identified around 15:48 on November 3, UTC+8. The Balancer team is collaborating with top security researchers to understand the problem and will soon share further investigation results and a comprehensive post-analysis report.
The affected pools have been operational on the blockchain for several years, with many exceeding the pause window period. All pools that could be paused have been suspended and are currently in recovery mode. Other Balancer pools remain unaffected, and the issue is limited to V2 composable stable pools, not impacting Balancer V3 or other pools.
Balancer is committed to operational security, having undergone audits by leading companies and maintaining a long-term bug bounty program to incentivize independent auditors. The team is working closely with security and legal teams to ensure user safety and conduct a swift and thorough investigation. They express gratitude to partners and the broader DeFi community for their support.
A security advisory warns of fraudulent messages impersonating the Balancer security team. These messages are not from Balancer, and users are advised not to respond to unsolicited communications or click on unknown links. Official updates will be released only through Balancer's official account on X (Twitter) and their official Discord server. Users should be cautious of information from other sources, as it may be fraudulent. As the investigation progresses, Balancer will provide comprehensive updates with more details.#BalancerV2 #Vulnerability #ComposableStablePools #BlockchainSecurity #DeFi #SecurityInvestigation #Balancer #BugBounty #DeFiCommunity #FraudulentMessages #SecurityAdvisory #CryptoSecurity #XPlatform #CryptoNews
🚀 Notional Faces Significant Losses Due to Balancer Vulnerability
#Notional #Balancer #Ethereum #Arbitrum #DeFi #Crypto #ETH #V3Protocol #BadDebt #LiquidityProviders #CryptoLoss #CryptoNews #AAVE
According to Odaily, Notional has confirmed that its V3 protocol on the Ethereum mainnet and Arbitrum has incurred approximately 721.6 ETH in bad debt due to a Balancer vulnerability. This includes 641.4 ETH on the mainnet and 80.2 ETH on Arbitrum. Users of the Balancer/Aura leveraged vaults are facing a total loss, while ETH lenders and liquidity providers on both platforms will see a significant reduction in account value. Some users with ETH-collateralized loans are affected, while others remain unaffected.
Notional announced that due to the substantial scale of the bad debt, the V3 protocol will be gradually shut down on both the Ethereum mainnet and Arbitrum. A detailed asset withdrawal plan will be released soon. For users involved in cross-currency lending, positions will be automatically migrated to Aave to prevent liquidation risks during the shutdown.
The team plans to release a comprehensive report detailing the reduction ratios for ETH lenders and liquidity providers, along with remedial measures and calculation methods. They are committed to recovering assets and minimizing user losses as much as possible.#Notional #Balancer #Ethereum #Arbitrum #DeFi #Crypto #ETH #V3Protocol #BadDebt #LiquidityProviders #CryptoLoss #CryptoNews #AAVE

🚀 Balancer Exploit Leads to $3 Million Token Transfer
#Balancer #Exploit #TokenTransfer #SecurityBreach #stS #WBTC #ETH #PermitAuthorization #GoPlus #FrozenAddress #ERC20 #BlockchainSecurity
According to PANews, a recent exploit involving Balancer has resulted in the unauthorized transfer of approximately $3 million worth of tokens. The incident was highlighted by the GoPlus Chinese community on the X platform, revealing that the attacker used a Permit authorization to bypass security measures.
Earlier today, the attacker managed to transfer 195 stS tokens from the frozen address 0xf19…fae2 to a new address 0x0e9c…44D5. These tokens were then exchanged for WBTC and ETH. The failure of the freeze was attributed to its implementation at the native chain level, which only affected S tokens and not other ERC20 tokens like stS.
The stS tokens have a permit() method that allows off-chain signatures without requiring the frozen address to pay S, leading to the ineffectiveness of the freeze in this instance.#Balancer #Exploit #TokenTransfer #SecurityBreach #stS #WBTC #ETH #PermitAuthorization #GoPlus #FrozenAddress #ERC20 #BlockchainSecurity
🚀 Balancer Initiates Recovery Action Following Stablecoin Pool Incident

🚀 Complexity of yETH Attack Discussed by Developers
#yETH #attack #fuzzing #vulnerability #Curve #Balancer #Yearn #developers #security #ETH
According to PANews, discussions on the X platform reveal that several developers believe the yETH attack, initially attributed to fuzzing discovery, involved a complex attack path. It is suggested that the attack may have escalated after identifying an exploitable vulnerability. Curve founder Michael Egorov noted that fuzzing can expose failures in mathematical functions, and setting input limits could prevent similar attacks on yETH and Balancer.
Last week, it was reported that the complexity of the attack on Yearn's yETH pool was similar to the previous Balancer attack.#yETH #attack #fuzzing #vulnerability #Curve #Balancer #Yearn #developers #security #ETH
