Wu has learned that Ethereum privacy infrastructure developer Aztec Labs is investigating a security incident that may affect the Aztec Connect protocol, which has been discontinued. Approximately $2.1 million worth of assets have been transferred out of the related non-upgradable smart contracts. Aztec Connect was deprecated three years ago, and Aztec Labs does not hold administrative privileges nor can it pause or upgrade the system. The team stated that they will disclose more updates on the investigation later.

Let's wait for further disclosure; whether it's a contract vulnerability or a private key leak, the nature is completely different.

2.1 million is not too much, not too little, but the current setting of not being able to upgrade the contract now seems a bit like a double-edged sword

The protocol that was abandoned three years ago is now in trouble—DeFi’s tail risks are truly hard to guard against.

No administrator privileges = no way to quickly cut losses, and the cost of decentralization becomes evident at this moment.
