 Big thanks for the disclosure! Grieving attacks are not as dangerous (funds would be anyway recoverable, and no profit for attacker) – could have caused serious panic if happened.
 This is an example of a very professional work

The vulnerability was found in the decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol Curve Finance, which could be exploited to manipulate balances and withdraw funds from liquidity pools.&nbsp;

<a href="https://twitter.com/CurveFinance/status/1785406648082997532" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Curve Finance</a> promptly acknowledged the potential security risks associated with the vulnerability and expressed their understanding of its severity.&nbsp;
After conducting a comprehensive investigation, Curve Finance awarded Marco Croc the maximum bug bounty of $250,000 as a token of appreciation for his significant contribution.
Although Curve Finance classified the threat as “not as dangerous,” they acknowledged that any kind of security incident, even on a smaller scale, could have resulted in serious panic among users.&nbsp;

The protocol stated their belief that they could recover any stolen funds in such an event.
This incident comes on the heels of Curve Finance’s recovery from a previous hack in July, which resulted in a loss of $62 million.&nbsp;
In an effort to restore normalcy, the DeFi protocol recently conducted a vote to reimburse $49.2 million worth of assets to the liquidity providers (LPs).&nbsp;
On-chain data confirms that the disbursement of tokens worth over $49.2 million was approved by 94% of tokenholders to cover the losses incurred in the Curve, JPEG’d, Alchemix, and Metronome pools.
