Following these, the price of the Terra tokens, LUNA and LUNC, experienced a downfall. LUNA reflected a 2.53% decrease to currently trading at $0.395 and LUNC is trading at $0.00008048, observing a drop of 2.82% over the last 24 hours. Notably, another crypto included in the hack, ASTRO, has dropped over 60% from $0.0483 to $0.02273.

The Terra blockchain endured a significant security breach, immediately prompting the network to halt all transactions temporarily. The attacker exploited a “reentrancy vulnerability in the timeout callback of ibc-hooks.” In general, IBC hooks is a module that facilitates cross-chain contract calls and token movement.
The chain exploit led to the illicit transfer of assets, including USD Coin (USDC) and Astroport&nbsp; (ASTRO), in abundance. An approximate of 3.5M USDC, 60M ASTRO, 500K USDT, and 2.7 BTC, as per the Beosin Alert X <a href="https://x.com/BeosinAlert/status/1818548029416411279" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">post</a>.&nbsp;
Recently, on July 29, Terra Luna upgraded the 3.1.3 version of its software, including a revised burn tax distribution to increase rewards and Oracle Split logic aimed at preventing memory leaks. This upgrade was executed at block height 19,108,180, without losing a single chain block.&nbsp;
In June 2024, Terraform Labs announced that the organization had shut down following a settlement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (<a href="https://www.sec.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SEC</a>) to conclude a fraud case. And Terraform’s massive $4.47 billion <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/terraform-labs-reaches-4-47-billion-settlement-with-u-s-sec/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">settlement</a> with the SEC related to the UST algorithmic stablecoin, which dramatically collapsed in 2022.&nbsp;
