Euler attack
The Euler exploiter originally drained $136 million of staked ether, $34 million of USDC, $19 million of wrapped bitcoin and $8.7 million of DAI from the protocol.
The perpetrator borrowed large amounts of funds and drained them from the protocol. Euler Labs, the developer of the protocol, has been working with security professionals and law enforcement since.
Flash loans have become a popular tool for exploiters. The method allows borrowers to access large amounts of funds without providing collateral. Flash loans are high risk, as the borrower must repay the loan within a short time frame.
