DeFi funds at risk! Security firm Blockaid issues an emergency alert, indicating that the SquidRouterModule on the Ethereum and Base chains is under ongoing hacker attack.

Drains $3 million in just 2 hours

According to the initial detection report released by Blockaid, this attack mainly targeted the Ethereum mainnet and Coinbase-supported Layer 2 network Base.

The hackers' attack efficiency is extremely high; within about 2 hours, they successfully breached and drained funds from 86 Gnosis Safe multi-signature wallets.
The estimated total loss has reached approximately $3 million, and since the attack is still "ongoing," the loss amount may continue to rise.

Money laundering method exposed: exchanging DAI via Uniswap V3

Regarding the flow of stolen funds, Blockaid analysis indicates that after obtaining the assets, the hackers quickly carried out money laundering.
They pre-constructed and controlled specific Uniswap V3 liquidity pools, converting all stolen tokens from victim wallets into the stablecoin DAI through these malicious pools, to evade tracking and preserve the value of the stolen assets.

Currently, the Blockaid team is continuing to track the attackers' addresses and transaction details.
Security experts strongly recommend that users who interacted with SquidRouterModule and multi-signature wallet managers should immediately review and revoke related contract permissions to avoid becoming the next victims.
