Qubit Finance, a decentralized money market platform that uses the speed, automation, and security of blockchain to efficiently and securely connect lenders and borrowers, was recently hacked under the report of auditing firm PeckShield.
The attacker took a large amount of xETH collateral and about $80 million from the pool’s funds.
It seems the QBridge of @QubitFin is hacked to mint a massive amount of xETH collateral, draining the pool funds of around $80 million. Please note that we checked Qubit Borrowing, not QBridge! There’s more to come…
