Terra

<p class="is-style-lead">Infamous blockchain protocol Terra has recently been allegedly exploited due to a vulnerability that was revealed months ago.</p> 
<p>According to a Cyvers Alerts <a href="https://twitter.com/CyversAlerts/status/1818550103000383984?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1818550103000383984%7Ctwgr%5E4709cb46fbacfe903040ad60b5f09a0e91f02803%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fcrypto.news%2Fwp%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php%3Fpost%3D14288430action%3Dedit" target="_blank" rel="">post</a> on X today, July 31, hackers have stolen 60 million ASTRO, 3.5 million USDC, 500,000 USDT and 2.7 Bitcoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BTC</a>) from the Terra blockchain. The total amount of reported losses has reached roughly $6.8 million.</p>

<p>Per the blockchain security company, hackers found a vulnerability in the network’s timeout callback of IBC hooks. This allows the attackers to execute a transaction repetitively that might potentially result in the loss of funds or minting extra tokens.</p> 
<p>Cyvers Alerts claims that this vulnerability was “revealed in April of this year.”</p> 
<p>Just hours before Cyvers Alerts’ X post, Terra’s official X page <a href="https://x.com/terra_money/status/1818498438759411964" target="_blank" rel="">posted</a> that the network was halted to “apply an emergency patch” due to an alleged exploit.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, Terra did not share the details and the amount of assets lost yet.&nbsp;</p>
