Approximately 380,000 assets were mistakenly sent to the Aave v3 contract in the second incident. As a result of the third attack, roughly $287,000 was stolen. The attack resulted in the depegged of the Platypus USD (USP) stablecoin from the United States dollar.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Perpetrators used a flash loan method to explore a logic error in the USP solvency check mechanism within the collateral-holding, Platypus recently confirmed. The stable swap operations have not been affected.<\/p>\n<p>A flash attack is the same method used by Mango Market&#8217;s exploiter Avi Eisenberg, who claimed responsibility for manipulating the price of the MNGO coin in October 2022. After the exploit, Eisenberg said that \u201call of our actions were legal open market actions, using the protocol as designed.\u201d Eisenberg was arrested in Puerto Rico on fraud charges on Dec. 28.<\/p>\n<p>Platypus announced a plan to return funds to affected users on Feb. 23. According to the protocol, 63% of the main pool funds will be returned within six months. As per the plan, reminting frozen stablecoins could result in 78% of the funds being recovered.  \u201cIf our proposal submitted to Aave is approved and Tether confirms reminting the frozen USDT, we will be able to recover approximately 78% of user\u2019s funds,\u201d noted the protocol. <\/p>\n<p><template data-name=\"subscription_form\" data-type=\"defi_newsletter\"><\/template><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
