Abstract generation in progress
Mars Finance news: Ostium published an update on the attack incident. Its liquidity provider vault was attacked on July 15, resulting in a loss of 23,752,746 USDC. Initial investigation indicates that the attacker compromised the off-chain infrastructure that provides price data to the protocol and submitted disguised illegal price reports, extracting fabricated profits from the vault through rapid opening and closing of multiple large positions. Ostium stated that traders’ collateral is stored in separately isolated smart contracts and was not affected by this incident; all trading positions remain open. The team paused trading and froze all trading contracts within 60 minutes after the first attack transaction occurred. Ostium is currently working with Mandiant, zeroShadow, Collisionless, SEAL 911, and law enforcement, coordinating with trading platforms, bridge contracts, and stablecoin issuers to advance the investigation. The engineering team is focusing on repairing and strengthening the relevant infrastructure to support a secure resumption of trading. Ostium said it will provide at least 24 hours’ advance notice before unfreezing the trading contracts. After trading resumes, existing positions will be marked to the prices at the time of reopening and will not be affected by price fluctuations during the pause. The affected liquidity providers and the secure restoration of trading remain the top priorities.
