Hacked:
Two DeFi protocols Agave and Hundred Finance became victims of a twin hack that was conducted on March 15. In what appears to be a flash loan ‘reentrancy attack’, more than $11 million got siphoned off.  As per investigation, the hack happened on both protocols on the Gnosis chain where the attacker exploited a wETH contract function. This allowed the attacker to continue borrowing crypto before the apps could calculate the debt, which would prevent further borrowing.
