Blockchain security company PeckShield detected an attack on the decentralized finance (DeFi) project Zunami Protocol on August 13. The hackers stole over $2.1 million from Zunami’s Curve Pools through price manipulation.

The perpetrator offered a flash loan before adding liquidity to execute some trades (at inflated costs). Afterward, he returned the borrowed cash and withdrew profits of over $2 million.

The attacker drained Zunami’s zStables on Curve Finance (CRV)and manipulated Zunami USD (UZD) and Zunami Ether (zETH) prices. That saw the former losing its peg, a crucial development for so-called stablecoins.

1 UZD traded at $0.0098 at press time, following a significant 99% plunge.

PeckShield alerted Zunami about the incident on August 13. The DeFi platform confirmed the attack and advised customers to stop buying affected assets (stabelecoin UZD & zETH). While the team investigates the episode, they revealed that the hack did not affect collateral.

The cryptocurrency community has slammed Zunami Protocol for its claims about top-notch de-peg prevention mechanisms. The platform promises proof of reserves that can help mitigate de-pegging risks. However, stablecoin UZD has endured a relentless plunge that saw it using its dollar tie.

The recent attack on Zunami represents a series of hacking on DeFi protocols, exposing security weaknesses on decentralized finance platforms. Curve pools lost approximately $61M in crypto following July 30 attack.

Curve Finance showed efforts to unmask the perpetrator, even announcing a $1.85 million public bounty. Nonetheless, hackers seem ahead in exploiting DeFi’s security weaknesses.

Meanwhile, these incidents show how crucial vigorous security measures are in the DeFi market.
