🚨One authorization loss of $1 million! DeFi security alarm rings again

On-chain security incidents show that a user authorized an unverified smart contract in the past, leading to the theft of assets in a DeFi protocol, with a loss of about $1 million.

The stolen assets were a Yearn yvWETH Vault position in the Alchemix ecosystem—an asset type typically used to obtain yield strategies. The related funds come from Yearn Finance’s yield vault system.

Further investigation found that this malicious contract was created only 10 days ago, and its code was not verified. Because it has vulnerabilities, attackers can exploit this authorization to perform arbitrary calls, ultimately transferring the user’s assets.

This incident once again serves as a reminder to the entire market:

In the DeFi world, the biggest risk is often not market conditions, but permission management.

Many users only focus on returns when authorizing contracts, while ignoring the most critical step—security checks.

Remember a simple yet important principle:

Better to miss one opportunity than to grant an unknown contract permission one time/once.

Because in the blockchain world, security is always more important than returns. 🔐🚀#WCTC交易王PK #加密市场小幅下跌 #Polymarket每日热点 $CHZ $SSV
