DeFi Platform KiloEx Repays Users Following $7.5M Exploit
Decentralized exchange KiloEx has fully compensated users affected by a $7.5 million hack, offering complete reimbursement for trading losses and a 10% APY bonus to vault stakers. The exploit, caused by a price oracle vulnerability, allowed unauthorized asset inflation before the platform temporarily suspended operations.
In a white-hat resolution, the hacker retained $750,000 as a bounty while returning remaining funds, avoiding legal repercussions. KiloEx has instructed traders to close any open positions immediately as part of the recovery process.
