Multichain recovered $2.6 million of the stolen funds to reimburse the losses of the users as the cross-chain router protocol actually recovered about 505 of the total stolen funds so let’s read further in today’s 最新的加密货币新闻。
After a month-long fight against the exploit, the cross-chain router protocol Multichain recovered $2.6 million of the stolen funds of crypto and the team also released a compensation plan to return the funds to the affected users. Blockchain security expert Dedaub alerted the platform about two vulnerabilities in the liquidity pool and router contracts that affected eight cryptocurrencies including wrapped ETH, wrapped BNB, Avalanche, and Polygon.

The Multichain team advised the users to revoke the approvals for the smart contracts as a means of immediate damage control but as per the reports, the announcement encouraged the hackers to try the exploit resulting in losses of $3 million. As per Multichain, the vulnerability of the pool was fixed by upgrading the tokens liqiudity to new contracts:
“但是，对于尚未撤销对受影响路由器合同的批准的用户来说，风险仍然存在。 重要的是，用户自己必须是撤销批准的人。”
Multichain reproted that about 4861 out of the 7962 affected users revoked the approvals while advising the rest of 3101 addresses to take action as soon as possible and out of the 1,889.6619 WETH and 833.4191 AVAX stolen funds with the team being able to recover 912.7984 WETH and about 125 AVAX. Multichain confirmed that still about 976.8638 WETH were stolen. To be eligible for compensation via reimbursement, Multichain asked users to revoke their approval and submit a ticket on the website:
“As such, we will no longer reimburse any losses that happen after February 18 24:00 UTC.”

Your code may be vulnerable! You need to check for the pattern in your Solidity/EVM code! https://t.co/pxRqCQFbnS
