Exploit: Hacking
Qubit Finance: De Fi Platform
Risk to Business: 1.204= Extreme
A threat actor has stolen approximately $80 million from Qubit Finance after exploiting a flaw in the De Fi platform. Qubit said the attacker was able to steal 206,809 Binance coins (BNB) from its wallet on January 27, 2022. The hacker used a vulnerability in one of its Ethereum blockchain contracts to do the deed. The company has issued a public plea for the threat actor to return the stolen funds, asking them to get in contact with its team to “disclose the bug and receive a bounty reward”. This is sometimes used as a means of circumventing legal trouble for paying a ransom.
