Multi-Chain Lending Protocol FilDA Suffers $700K Loss in Cyber Attack

Cointime Official

FilDA, a multi-chain lending protocol, was attacked earlier today on the Elastos Smart Chain (ESC) and REI Network, resulting in a loss of approximately 700K USD. No other FilDA deployments have been affected.

According to the latest exploit statement, the vulnerability has been identified and the attack vector isolated. However, ESC and Rei FilDA platforms have been halted and will only be reinstated after a thorough review of the ongoing situation.

The team became aware of the potential platform exploit in the early hours of this morning and continue to analyze the on-chain activity by working alongside CEX, security and ecosystem partners to help trace and monitor these addresses. The addresses discovered received funds from a wallet which has been identified to have interacted with CEX accounts; FilDA have discovered links to IP addresses too. As a result, FilDA are now working with security firms to trace the hacker. Considering the gravity of the situation, law enforcement will be asked to pursue the case. FilDA encourage affected users to contact their local law enforcement too so they are aware of the theft.

FilDA promises to share information with the community as the investigation progresses and formulate a plan of action to prevent similar incidents in the future. The team apologizes for the disruption this has caused for its users and thanks them for their patience during this time.

About FilDA

FilDA is a decentralized, non-custody, lending protocol on multiple chains. It has been launched on HECO, BSC, Polygon, Arbitrum, IoTex, ESC, and will be deployed on more chains.

  • US Considers Easing Sanctions on Shadow Fleet to Lower Shipping Rates

    On October 15, a US official stated on Wednesday that the Trump administration is considering easing sanctions on vessels known as the 'shadow fleet.' These ships have previously transported oil and petroleum products from countries such as Russia, Iran, and Venezuela. This move aims to reduce the currently historically high global shipping rates. Shortly before this, President Trump had temporarily lifted sanctions on Russian diesel, a decision that drew strong criticism from Ukrainian President Zelensky, several European governments, and some Republican senators. The US official revealed that current discussions focus on whether the US will allow previously sanctioned vessels to transport 'legitimate oil.' Here, 'legitimate oil' refers to crude oil or petroleum products not subject to US sanctions, rather than oil from Russia and Iran that is under sanctions. The official stated that this move aims to facilitate the export of more refined products and crude oil from the Gulf region.
