No, Ripple-Backed Ethereum DeFi Protocol Squid Router Isnt Drained for $3 Million
Cross-chain platform Squid Router, which recently raised $6 million from Ripple, mistakenly found itself at the center of a scandal due to a hacker attack on third-party software with a similar name. Initial reports on social media claimed that $3 million had been stolen from the protocol, but on-chain analysis and official statements from the developers refuted these rumors. As revealed from reports by Blockaid and PeckShield, due to a critical vulnerability in the code of the third-party SquidRouterModule module, the attacker was able to bypass the security check using a publicly available text string and impersonate a trusted delegate. Since the affected users had previously added this defective contract to their wallets as trusted, the hacker gained the right to spend their assets without personal signatures. Through Uniswap V3, the hacker forcibly swapped the victims real tokens for fake tokens, then extracted liquidity and withdrew the funds to wallet “0xA447…54859”. As a result, the hacker drained 86 Gnosis Safe addresses across Ethereum and Base in just two hours, stealing 3.07 million DAI.
