An anonymous hacker has exploited transaction batching protocol Furucombo and walked away with $15M in stolen crypto over the weekend. The team is pledging to compensate victims.

The attacker used a contract which tricked Furuсombo into thinking that their contract was a new version of Aave, and was able to transfer funds of every user who had given the protocol token permissions.

The Furucombo team said in a post Monday that they are “committed to compensating all users who were affected,” and that they’ve patched the security vulnerability that allowed this hack to occur. They still urge users to remove any token approvals towards their contract for the time being.
