DeFi protocol Defrost_Finance said funds from last week's hack, which some observers suggested may have been a rug pull, have been returned. sheldonreback reports.
In a tweet thread posted Dec. 25, the team said a first attack used a flash loan to drain funds out of its V2 product. A second larger attack used the owner key to exploit V1. The protocol, which offers leveraged trading on the Avalanche blockchain, didn’t say how much had been taken.
Blockchain security firm Peckshield, citing “community intel,” said at the time that the exploit may have been a rug pull that made off with $12 million. Earlier today Certik, also a security company, said it had been unable to contact members of the team and posted a graphic indicating it was treating Defrost as an exit scam. Defrost's Twitter account is not configured to accept private messages.
