Restaking protocol Zoth exploited, attacker drains $8.4m

Decentralized protocol Zoth was hit by a hack through a compromised contract, and the attacker made off with more than $8 million, quickly turning it into DAI. Zoth, a restaking protocol backed by Borderless and Blockchain Founders Fund, has reportedly suffered a security breach that led to the draining of $8.4 million in assets. According to an alert from blockchain security firm Cyvers Alerts, the protocol’s deployer wallet was compromised, triggering the suspicious transaction. According to the alert, 30 minutes before the attack, a proxy contract called “USD0PPSubVaultUpgradeable” was upgraded, with the upgrade linked to a contract created by an address associated with the suspected attacker. Per initial estimates, the attacker withdrew $8.4 million in stablecoin USD0++. https://twitter.com/CyversAlerts/status/1903021017460600885 You might also like: Infini founder reaffirms 20% bounty and legal immunity to Infini hacker for return of stolen funds It appears that the stolen funds were quickly converted as within minutes, all stolen assets were swapped for the DAI ( DAI ) stablecoin and transferred to another address. As a result of the breach, the Zoth website was taken down and is currently in maintenance mode. The maintenance seems to be a precautionary response to the ongoing security concerns, although no official confirmation on the extent of the breach has been provided.
