According to the latest tweets, the platform lost over $3.3 million. The breach occurred in RouterProcessor2 that led to sifuvision.eth losing 1800 ETH. SushiSwap has reported that one attacker has returned 90 ETH (100 stolen).
On the other hand, BlockSec secured 100 ETH during the attack, which will be returned shortly. Jared Grey urged all SushiSwap users to revoke their permissions for contracts on the platform for security.
The bug found in the RouterProcessor2 contact has primarily affected one user, 0xSifu. The attack was directed at users who had approved SushiSwap contracts in the past four days. 0xngmi, a DeFiLlama developer, shared these crucial details with the security teams.
