Base Network Vault Attacked, $6 Million in Damage

A vault on the Base network has been attacked, leading to an estimated damage of around $6 million, equivalent to approximately 1783 wstETH.

The attackers manipulated the vault by adding a new contract to its whitelist, borrowing aBaswstETH, and transferring it to a contract they control.

While the systemic risk is currently deemed limited, there are concerns that the attacker’s potential sale of wstETH could exert short-term pressure on LST token prices.
