<h2 id="header-0"><strong>Overview</strong></h2><p>According to statistics from the <a href="https://hacked.slowmist.io/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SlowMist Hacked Archive</a>, in March 2024, there were 33 security incidents within the Web3 ecosystem, resulting in total losses of approximately $139 million. The causes of these incidents spanned a range of vulnerabilities, including smart contract flaws, insider malfeasance, flash loan attacks, private key leaks, and account theft.</p><h2 id="header-1">Main Incident</h2><h3 id="woofi-exploit">WOOFi Exploit</h3><p>On March 5, 2024, the decentralized exchange (DEX) WOOFi, operating on the Arbitrum network, was exploited through its Smoothed Price Moving Mechanism (sPMM) algorithm that controls the pricing of WOOFi trades. This exploit was orchestrated using a series of flash loans, where the attacker manipulated the price of the WOO token due to low liquidity, and subsequently repaid the flash loans at a lower price. The attacker repeated this process three times in a very short span, ultimately stealing approximately $8.75 million after repaying the flash loans.</p><p><img src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/1*Fbk0xadpSZvgh_YzkK0iPA.png" /></p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/_WOOFi/status/1765150687166415129" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://twitter.com/_WOOFi/status/1765150687166415129</a></p><h3 id="unizen">Unizen</h3><p>On March 9, 2024, the DeFi trading platform Unizen suffered a loss of approximately $2.1 million in USDT due to an attack that exploited a vulnerability in the platform’s smart contract’s external calls.
