DeFi Heist: Hacker Drains $9.6M from ResupplyFi in Smart Contract Exploit

Another day, another DeFi bloodbath—this time courtesy of a rogue hacker exploiting ResupplyFi's code. The attacker walked off with $9.6 million in crypto, proving once again that 'trustless' systems still require trust in their developers.

How it happened: The exploit leveraged a bug in ResupplyFi's token resupply mechanism, allowing the hacker to mint tokens out of thin air before swapping them for stablecoins. Classic 'infinite money glitch'—except this isn't a video game.

The aftermath: ResupplyFi's token price cratered 60% post-exploit, while the hacker's wallet now sits comfortably in the top 0.1% of crypto holders. Meanwhile, the project's 'fully audited' smart contract badge now reads more like a warning label.

Finance jab of the day: At least traditional banks have FDIC insurance—in DeFi, your 'APY' often stands for 'Are Praying You're not next.'
