Something in the recent attacks in the zBx DeFi protocols isn't that clear and now become more fishy than ever as new developments are putting the entire Team in bad shapes, as they seems to know the vulnerability that leaded to the hack of their Fulcrum margin and trading platform. The new approach is taken out by the 1inch.exchange a DEX aggregator platform, that warned the zBx Team, that in just one transaction the protocol could be Hacked and lose $2.5 million😱!
The vulnerability was found, accordingly to the 1inch.Exchange a month ago, and the zBx Team didn't informed their customers about!
Accordingly to 1inch.exchange all this started back in Jan.11 when the bZx Fulcrum margin and trading platform released the flash loans feature, and they found a breach that could be exploited only using a single transaction, at the time 3 pools containing customers funds could be taken down and the criminals benefit from a sum of $2.5 millions.
The 1inch Team Published the vulnerability and informed the zBx team about the breach, that was handled by them, but as they discovered the issue they also asked for a Bounty! And here is where all this misunderstandings are starting!
Let's proceed... after asking for a bounty about the vulnerability, the zBx Team tried to not reward them anything about it (here's why the zBx Team believes that 1inch could be behind the attacks), and because they insisted on it, the zBx management team tried to silent them with $3.5k and, with the recent hacks they are accusing them to be the attackers!!
It's knowing that the zBx was attacked in two distinct occasions and the protocol lostaround $943,000 in ether (ETH) in less than (5) days last week.
Of course it's a tempting situation and the 1inch.exchange released the all report to defend themselves, but as outsiders on this is difficult to say anything about either the 1inch, if they are Behind this attacks, or in Favour of bZx!
I am a pretty fan of DeFi ecosystem and I believe that the Decentralized systems can bring a lot to the crypto and the world finances and in the name of that, I truly believe that zBx must be more responsible with the customers funds and be more focused in that, despite been involved in this publicly fights to find culprits! They must shut all of their operations and focus on their business to protect $15 millions in funds invested in their protocols.
DeFi is the future of Decentralized world looking forward to the development of finances!
