Last month NFT lending pool XCarnival faced an attack and in that attack, the hacker successfully grabbed around $3.8 million in ETH from the platform. 

Later the hacker returned half of the stolen funds to the team and kept the rest of the ETH as a reward.

However, getting the stolen funds back from the hacker was not easy but still, the team tried its best. The team warned that it will take legal action against the exploiter.

XCarnival was attacked on June 26, 2022 and suspended part of the protocol. XCarnival officials will give 0xb7CBB4d43F1e08327A90B32A8417688C9D0B800a owner 1500 ETH bounty.
At the same time, XCarnival officals explicitly exempt the person from legal action.

Defi protocols need improvement

 No doubt that Decentralized finance-based Defi protocols can provide decentralized services to crypto investors but at the same time, these are facing problems because of bugs. 

More than 4 years have been completed, since the beginning of Defi-based platforms, but still the majority of the Defi Protocols bear bugs or some hidden technical issues. These things are showing that Defi industry needs more time to evolve into a perfect bugless protocol, where investors can ensure the safety of their funds.
