PenPie Hack Report
According to the report, the hackers had exploited a security vulnerability on the Penpie platform, which is located in the batchHarvestMarketRewards() function of the PendleStakingBaseUpg contract, and “added new deposits from flash loans”. The attacker also manipulated the rewards and the amount sent to the fake Pendle market depositor (who was the attacker himself).
As soon as an attack was detected, the Penpie team immediately stopped the deposit and withdrawal functions and went on track the stolen money with the help of several security agencies.
At present, the Penpie front end is back to normal. The team is however, working with law enforcement officials to identify and arrest the attacker. Moreover, the Penpie is expected to start a governance vote to come up with the compensation plan.
