DeFi financing project was exploited and $ 11 million stolen
Since the advent of DeFi, the pace of exploitation, fraud and theft in this emerging field has not slowed down.

Hackers exploited a loophole in the base protocol code base.
The “Value” project lost a total of $ 17 million in two separate incidents:

Another weekend with a DeFi exploit on BSC, and this time the AMM called vSwap from @value_defi is in trouble.
About $11M was stolen today from non 50/50 pools, in addition to $6M already lost this week as a result of contract reinitialization.

Hackers stole funds in the form of nine different cryptocurrencies, including 15,000 Binance Coins (BNB) and 68,300 Binance Stable Currency BUSD.
All funds were instantly exchanged for several Ethereum-based digital currencies.
Igamberdiev identified the source of the error in the database, which prevents the swap action from behaving in the correct way under certain circumstances as the "root cause" of this attack.
Consequently, the liquid pools become crowded due to imbalance between the amounts of first and second assets in the pool pairs.

Consequently, the reputation of the “Value Defi” project has been damaged by repeated attacks, and the project as a whole may be a plague and fraud due to the emergence of recent indications.
