CryptoWorld News: Aztec Connect, a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform that has been discontinued, recently experienced a security breach involving $2.1 million. According to reports from Aztec Labs and blockchain security firm BlockSec, the attacker exploited a vulnerability in the platform's transaction verification process, allowing them to create and withdraw unsupported balances. The attack involved seven transactions in total, stealing 909 ETH, 270,000 DAI, 167 wrapped staked ETH, and various other assets. Aztec Labs confirmed they are investigating the incident and stated that this vulnerability only affected the old version of Aztec Connect and did not impact users, funds, or assets on the current Aztec network.

Packaging pledged ETH all bundled and taken away, attackers have quite a broad taste.

Aztec Labs says the new version is fine, but who should long-time users blame for this mess?

The old version of Aztec Connect is still vulnerable to having 2.1 million stolen—this bug was buried deep enough.

Everyone is watching deactivated platforms; hackers' radar is more sensitive than that of the project team.

909 ETH + 270k DAI, done in seven transactions, the verification logic is a bit casually written, isn't it?
