Breaking: DAO Maker falls victim to Defi Hack, 10,000 USDC Accounts Affected – The number of Defi protocols getting hacked continues to increase another protocol fell prey to the attack. Dao Maker, a crowdfunding platform was hacked and hackers managed to steal USDC from user’s top-up accounts and was replaced by ETH.
A total of 2,261 Eth, worth more than $7 million were used to transfer out USDC, as per a report from WuBlockchain.
The reason to transfer ETH for USDC is believed to be associated with freezing of assets as USDC can be frozen by Circle from a specified account. Recently, Tether froze nearly $35 million worth of USDT from the PolyNetwork hack, the largest defi hack.
