DeFi lending platform Compound Finance hijacked again

The Compound incident is the latest in a string of website hijackings that have also affected Maple Finance, OpenEden and Curvance.

Gauntlet’s $2.3M contract renewal with Compound faces backlash

The renewal of Gauntlet’s $2.3M contract with crypto lending platform Compound Finance has been met with fierce pushback.

DeFi platform Compound is facing calls to onboard additional risk managers in response to a governance proposal by current manager Gauntlet.

The technique, known as a ‘front-end’ attack is a relatively common vector for crypto hackers and has impacted multiple projects in the past.

An upgrade has introduced a bug to Compound Finance, leaving the platform’s ~$830 million cETH market unusable.
