đ¨ NGP Protocol Exploited: $2 Million Vanishes in BNB Chain Security Breach
Another day, another crypto heistâNGP Protocol joins the not-so-exclusive club of DeFi exploits. The attack siphoned a cool $2 million from the protocol's liquidity pools, leaving investors scrambling and security teams working overtime.
How It Went Down
The exploit leveraged a vulnerability in NGPâs smart contract architecture on BNB Chain, bypassing standard security checks and draining funds in a series of rapid transactions. No sophisticated social engineeringâjust pure code manipulation.
Aftermath and Reactions
NGPâs token price nosedived 40% within hours of the news breaking. The team has paused all contract interactions and launched an investigation, promising reimbursementsâthough thatâs become the industryâs default empty promise. Meanwhile, crypto Twitter is having a field day, with armchair experts dissecting every line of the flawed code.
BNB Chainâs security track record takes another hitâthis marks the third major exploit on the network this year. Auditors? Apparently asleep at the wheel. But hey, at least the hackers got their paydayâsome things in crypto never change.
