SlowMist Cosmos Update on the Venus Security Incident: Hacked Whale Suffers Targeted Attack, Related Wallet Extension Replaced

BlockBeats News, September 2nd, SlowMist Cosmos provided the following update on the Venus security incident on the X platform: In this recent whale hack incident, both the Venus protocol and front-end were not the issue. Currently, SlowMist's analysis, in collaboration with partners, leans towards the whale being the target of a targeted attack. Although the whale used a hardware wallet, the relevant wallet extension on the computer (used in conjunction with the hardware wallet) was replaced. When the user initiated a normal redeemUnderlying operation, it was replaced with an updateDelegate operation, ultimately resulting in the theft of assets from their Venus account.
