DeFi Protocol CrediX Taken Offline After $4.5M Exploit

Another day, another DeFi bloodbath—CrediX joins the hall of shame after attackers siphoned $4.5M in a single exploit. The protocol’s team yanked the emergency brake, taking the entire platform offline. No ‘gradual unwind’ here—just radio silence and a smoking hole where liquidity used to be.

How’d they do it? Same old story: a smart contract flaw turned into a free withdrawal ticket. Whitehats are already dissecting the attack vector, but let’s be real—this is why TradFi bros still mock DeFi as ‘unregulated casino code.’

CrediX vows to ‘make users whole’ (sound familiar?), but with $4.5M gone and confidence shattered, resurrection looks like a long shot. Pro tip: maybe audit *before* locking up nine figures next time?
