The UwU Lend faces a fresh blow as attackers exploit a vulnerability yet again, stealing $3.5 million during the ongoing $20 million reimbursement process.
Just days after a significant hack for nearly $20 million on June 10th, on-chain data analysis firm Cyvers alerted UwU Lend about a new exploit. Alarmingly, analysts believe the attackers are the same ones responsible for the initial heist.

This latest attack targeted various asset pools within the protocol, including uDAI, uWETH, uLUSD, uFRAX, uCRVUSD, and uUSDT. The stolen funds were swiftly converted into Ethereum and are currently traced to a specific attacker address: 0x841dDf093f5188989fA1524e7B893de64B421f47.
The incident throws a wrench into UwU Lend’s attempt to compensate users affected by the first hack. Rebuilding trust and securing its platform becomes even more critical for UwU Lend in the face of this double attack.
Hello UwU Frens!
