Over $45 million was lost to exit scams in May while exploits on DeFi protocols racked up less than half that amount over the same period.
Just the top 10 major cryptocurrency exploits garnered over $2 billion for malicious actors in a year that was marred with bankruptcies and collapses.
The platform’s treasury was drained of over $100 million worth of cryptocurrency after an attacker manipulated price data of its native token to take out loans against their holdings.
No user funds have been affected by the exploit, but Inverse Finance has incurred a debt and offered the attacker a bounty to return the stolen funds.
