DeFi project Akropolis lost $2 million in hacker attack

The Akropolis financial platform lost $2 million in Dai stablecoin, which was withdrawn from its yCurve pools. The project team reported this to Discord.

According to analyst Stephen Zheng, the attackers withdrew assets in tranches of 50,000 DAI for 7 hours, until they completely emptied the pool. They were subsequently moved to a new address, where they remain at the time of publication.

"We recently identified a hack carried out through the body of smart contracts in savings pools," the project writes, assuring users that the staking pools remain safe.

The project team claims that the pool was audited by CertiK and an unnamed firm. In response to Zheng's suggestion that Akropolis was the victim of an asset price manipulation attack, as recently happened with Harvest Finance, Akropolis stated that this is "not entirely true".

" we will publish information Soon. Unfortunately, two attack vectors were missed, despite two audits, " Akropolis States.

Akropolis's own token (AKRO) lost 23% of its value on the background of today's announcement, thus losing a significant part of the growth it experienced over the past week.
