Tales of Elleria GameFi Project on Arbitrum One Suffers Over $280,000 Loss in Exploit

Cointime Official

April 20 (Cointime) - Tales of Elleria, an immersive three-dimensional role-playing GameFi project built on Arbitrum One, has experienced an exploit, resulting in a loss of over $280,000 USD, its co-founder Wayne @crwy__ revealed on Twitter.

According to Wayne, the hacker generated his own signature and withdrew a large amount of $ELM in four transactions from the bridge. The contract used to verify signatures, specifically the ecrecover function, is suspected to have been exploited, allowing the hacker to generate authorization signatures without the private keys. The private keys were only exposed to a few individuals and AWS for backend deployment, and no leak was detected.

The project is asking for help in investigating the incident and assures the Ellerians that appropriate action will be taken to compensate for the loss and move forward.

2/ The hacker's address: 0xf2cbF39e7668EbB113f2C609BBd6eA1dFCe5d376 He made 4 transactions, withdrawing an incremental amount of ELM from the bridge:

3/ ecrecover: Potential vulnerability in the contract used to verify signatures: https://arbiscan.io/address/0xe1bBe57b783F619Ff5f3dC575bE6e069bCCe04f5… Current findings suspect that the ecrecover function was exploited and the hacker was able to generate the authorization signatures without our private keys.

4/ Private Keys

We were very careful with the private keys for the signers, and it was only exposed to me, Quack, and to AWS for our backend deployment. We're all nerds and don't spend much time on other stuff other than dev, don't think there was a leak on this side :')

5/ If anybody can help and investigate, we'll appreciate you immensely

We'll be here and will take action appropriately to compensate and move forward. Stay strong Ellerians!

  • Federal Reserve's 'Echo Chamber': Non-Farm Report Indicates Reasons for Rate Cuts Have Largely Disappeared

    On June 5, Nick Timiraos, often referred to as the 'echo chamber' of the Federal Reserve, pointed out that the acceleration of hiring activities this spring will provide more justification for Fed officials who are concerned about inflation and believe that current interest rates are too low to curb a new wave of price pressures. Some officials have recently suggested that the Fed should be prepared for interest rate hikes later this year, at least to reverse some of the three 25-basis-point cuts implemented in the second half of last year. These cuts were aimed at stabilizing the labor market, which now appears to be in much better condition than it was at that time. This employment report will not completely resolve the debate about how much the Fed should consider raising rates later this year, but it does further indicate that the reasons for rate cuts in the short term have largely disappeared. The more compelling reasons supporting rate hikes currently stem from the inflation outlook. Multiple shocks, including infrastructure development in artificial intelligence, tariffs, and energy, could keep inflation persistently above the Fed's 2% target, even if progress is made in restoring commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. If the Fed remains inactive during a period of rising inflation, the real interest rates adjusted for inflation will decline. Even if the labor market is not the main driving factor, this mechanism could become an important element in discussions about raising rates.
