November 2024 Hacks

DeltaPrime 2 - $5M - Second major security breach, two months after a $6 million loss, resulting in an additional $4.85 million hack across Arbitrum and Avalanche caused by an unchecked input validation flaw in the protocol’s periphery adaptor contract.

Polter Finance - $8.7 million. The incident was caused by a vulnerability in the platform's price oracle mechanisms, allowing an attacker to manipulate asset values and drain funds.
