          A Single User of BadgerDAO Lost $50 Million Worth of Bitcoin to A Hack

          Aman Chaudhary by Aman Chaudhary

          in Updates
          User of Badger DAO Lost 50 Million USD

          We are seeing a pattern of increase in the hacking of decentralised finance (DeFi) systems in 2021. In 2021, these exploitations resulted in the loss of about $10.5 billion in customer payments via DeFi fraud and theft. BadgerDAO, a Bitcoin-focused decentralised finance initiative built on the Ethereum blockchain, has become the victim. It suffered a network breach just days before its one-year anniversary.

          According to PeckShield, BadgerDAO lost a total of $120.3 million in the front-end assault. Peckshield is a blockchain data and security analytics start-up.

          Before the attack, Badger was the 23rd most popular DeFi protocol on Ethereum. Badger DAO attained a TVL in November (total value locked). According to Defipulse, the TVL in Badger has now decreased to $787 million. A single user incurred a loss of $50 million. PeckShield explained the network breach in detail. It stated that a single user had lost 896 BTC (approximately $50 million at the current Bitcoin price) as a result of the hack.

          One most affected user (w/ the loss of ~900 BTC): 0x53461e4fddcc1385f1256ae24ce3505be664f249. And here is the transfer-out tx: 😭https://t.co/megVFFy2Z8

          Badger’s engineers have verified the breach. The team stated in a tweet that they were aware of the procedure violation and were looking into it. They also halted all smart contracts to prevent more withdrawals.

          According to BadgerDAO’s tweet-

          Badger has received reports of unauthorized withdrawals of user funds.

          As Badger engineers investigate this, all smart contracts have been paused to prevent further withdrawals.

          Our investigation is ongoing and we will release further information as soon as possible.

          Current hypotheses about what happened

          Users of the system reported difficulties on Discord, according to an earlier Coindesk article. Coindesk estimated the amount syphoned from the protocol at roughly $10 million. Accordingly, the act was on the company’s front-end user interface rather than the core protocol contracts.

          According to the study, customers claimed that their wallet providers requested an unusually large number of permissions while attempting to connect with their Badger vaults on the website.

          BADGER, the platform’s native token, has plummeted roughly 15.3 percent since the news of the theft surfaced, and it is presently trading at around $22.73.

          DeFi hacks are at an all-time high

          In 2021, the DeFi sector is going to develop significantly. The sector’s overall value just achieved an all-time high of $276.92 billion. The present market value is around $275.55 billion.

          However, decentralised financial protocols and the cryptocurrency sector, in general, continue to confront security difficulties. According to the DeFi tracking programme Cryptosec, there were around 73 DeFi exploit events till 2021.

          The entire sum lost is around $1.5 billion. Over 50 of the broken protocols were on Ethereum, accounting for the greater number of attacks. This is hardly surprising given that Ethereum hosts the greatest number of DeFi initiatives. Binance smart chain (BSC) comes in second, with 20 attacks documented across its DeFi protocols. PolyNetwork’s exploit, worth roughly $602 million, has become the single biggest so far.

          The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) issued a warning in November about some hackers. They use Bitcoin ATMs and QR codes to deceive unwary people. According to the FBI, scammers are instructing victims to use physical bitcoin ATMs and digital QR codes to complete payment transactions. The agency also noted that the decentralised structure of bitcoin makes it harder to retrieve the victim’s finances. Accordingly, much of the stolen money is transported overseas immediately rather than first being validated by a bank.

          About BadgeDAO

          BadgerDAO, or BADGER, is an open-source, decentralised automated organisation. It focuses on building infrastructure and solutions to ease the general usage of different blockchains.

          The badger is mostly used as a DAO. “DAO” stands for “decentralised autonomous organization.” Anyone who owns BADGER, the community’s governance token, has the opportunity to vote on community proposals. Also, the suggestions that receive enough votes from the community are implemented on the site. Users with more BADGER have greater voting power.

          To help make bitcoin a useful asset across blockchains, Badger uses many DeFi devices on its platform. To bring these goods to reality, the development team collaborated with other DeFi initiatives such as Yearn, Ren, and Curve.
