DeFi project Akropolis lost $ 2 million as a result of a hacker attack

The Akropolis financial platform lost $ 2 million in DAI stablecoin, which were withdrawn from its yCurve pools. The project team reported this on Discord.

According to analyst Stephen Zheng, attackers withdrew assets in tranches of 50,000 DAI for 7 hours, until they completely emptied the pool.. Subsequently, they were moved to a new address, where they remain at the time of publication..

“We recently uncovered a hack through the body of smart contracts in savings pools,” the project writes, reassuring users that staking pools remain safe..

The project team claims that the pool has been audited by CertiK and an unnamed firm. In response to Zheng's suggestion that Akropolis was the victim of an asset price manipulation attack, as recently happened with Harvest Finance, Akropolis said this was "not entirely true.".

“We will publish information soon. Unfortunately, two attack vectors were missed, despite two audits, ”Akropolis says..

Akropolis' own token (AKRO) lost 23% of its value amid today's announcement, thus losing a significant portion of the gain it experienced over the past week.
