<p style="text-align: justify">Ethena Labs recently experienced a significant <a href="https://en.bitcoinhaber.net/mastering-the-human-element-strategic-social-engineering-cyberattacks" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">security</a> breach, culminating in the theft of 480 <a href="https://en.bitcoinhaber.net/analyst-mags-sets-new-price-target-for-binance-coin-as-crypto-market-surges" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BNB</a> tokens, valued at approximately $290,000. The stolen funds were designated for farming within the Binance launch pool.

<p style="text-align: justify">Ahead of its scheduled introduction into the Binance launch pool, Ethena’s ENA token was compromised. The platform had enabled users to farm ENA by staking BNB or FDUSD until the moment of the cyber attack.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">The incident has cast a shadow on Ethena Labs’ recently launched USDe synthetic dollar. Released less than a month prior, on February 19, the synthetic dollar had quickly captured significant attention, becoming one of the leading decentralized applications with an impressive 67% annual yield rate. It drew a considerable investor base due to its profitability.</p>

Current updates from PeckShieldAlert indicate that the breach involved a token that shares its name with Ethena’s ENA.</p>
