Most Dogecoin Holders Are in Profit While Majority of Shiba Inu Owners Remain Underwater: IntoTheBlock

Ethereum (ETH)-based decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol UwU Lend just suffered a security breach that siphoned $23 million worth of crypto from its platform.

In a post on social media platform X, the team behind UwU Lend says the protocol will be paused until the investigation of the exploit has concluded.

“Yesterday UwU Lend was the target of an exploit involving a sophisticated attack. The team reacted swiftly and the protocol was paused within minutes. Rates for borrows and deposits have been set to 0% so users’ positions will not be affected by this pause.”

UwU Lend already made an offer to the hacker and is now awaiting a response. In an on-chain message, the lending and liquidity protocol says the exploiter will get a white hat bounty in exchange for returning the stolen assets.

“UwU Lend would like to discuss a bounty with any parties involved in the recent UwU Lend exploit. We are offering a 20% white hat bounty of any funds taken, which you may keep if you return the remaining 80% to uwulend.eth. You will face no risk of us pursuing this further and no risk of law enforcement issues.”

The exploiter has until 5 PM on June 12th to voluntarily return the assets. Otherwise, UwU Lend says it will offer the bounty to the public and reward 20 percent to anyone who can identify the hacker in a way that will lead to a conviction in court.
