 <p>A low liquidity exploit is a type of attack where a threat actor takes advantage of pools with low liquidity to manipulate asset prices for financial gain. In this case, the hacker exploited the PAXG liquidity pools to steal 8,500 USDC and 280,000 Euro. Following the attack, nearly €223,000 was used by the hacker to mint an Algebra position NFT.&nbsp;</p>
 <p>TheStandard.io released a statement affirming to customers that all collateral in the smart vaults was safe. The platform also paused all new EUROs minting until the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="exploit" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/exploit.html">exploit</a> is patched. The platform has also requested the attacker to come forward as a white hat and negotiate a deal.&nbsp;</p>
