909 ETH + 270k DAI just disappeared like that; the most fatal flaw is in the verification logic—shutting down the service ≠ safety, on-chain inheritance still needs someone to guard it

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.
