‍$27 Million Lost in DeFi Phishing Attack: A Critical Warning

A trader on Venus Protocol lost $27 million in crypto assets due to a phishing scam. The victim approved a malicious transaction, allowing the attacker to drain their wallet of vUSDT and vUSDC. Venus Protocol confirmed no smart contract flaws, attributing the loss to a user-side error, and paused operations for security review.

This incident highlights a broader trend of escalating crypto attacks, with platforms like Bunni also recently targeted. Experts note increased exploit attempts during periods of market optimism. Users are urged to exercise extreme caution, verify transactions, avoid suspicious links, use hardware wallets, and regularly revoke contract permissions.
