On April 30th, the Pike Finance exploit on the Ethereum Mainnet, Optimism, and Arbitrum chains resulted in a $1.6M loss. The root cause of the hack was a storage layout misalignment caused by a new dependency. The attacker manipulated the receiver address and amounts due to insufficient security measures within the CCTP protocol. The team acknowledged the incident, discontinued the Pike Beta version, and offered the attacker a 20% bug bounty reward.

On April 15th, the Grand Base exploit on the Base Chain resulted in a $2M loss. The root cause of the exploit was the compromise of Grand Base’s deployer wallet. The unauthorized access to the deployer wallet allowed the attacker to mint and sell GB tokens. The Grand Base team acknowledged the incident and announced they are working on freezing the attacker’s wallets and recovering the stolen assets.

On April 12, 2024, the Sumer Money exploit on the Base Chain resulted in a $300K loss. The root cause of the exploit was a reentrancy attack. The attacker used 150 WETH and 645,000 USDC in flash loans to mint sdrETH and sdrUSDC tokens. By exploiting the repayBorrowBehalf() function, the attacker recursively borrowed and repaid sdrETH and sdrUSDC tokens and manipulated the exchange rates.

On April 8th, the Squid Game Coin exploit on the BNB Chain resulted in a $87K loss. The root cause of the hack was a flaw in the swap contract logic. The attacker used 10,000 WBNB in flash loans to get 163,138,366 SQUID tokens. The attacker then called the sellSwappedTokens() function multiple times, taking advantage of the arbitrage opportunity. The Squid Game Coin team acknowledged the incident and blacklisted the exploiter.
