Deus Finance recovers $1M stolen funds

One of the Deus Finance exploiters returned stolen funds but still, the DeusDao team struggled to recover the rest of the funds. 

Deus Finance is a marketplace for decentralized financial services, where the infrastructure for others to build financial instruments is provided by the DEUS DAO. DeusDao is also an issuer of Dei stablecoin.

On 5 May, The DEUS team reported that a few hackers exploited its BSC chain as well as the Arbitrum network code via a bot. In that hack attack, DeusDao lost nearly $6.5 million worth of crypto assets.

1/ DEI on Arbitrum and BSC was attacked, and the loss is over $6M…A simple but classic issue: the bad implementation of allowances makes this function become a 'public' burn to manipulate the token price.https://t.co/rioDQffVxkhttps://t.co/FV5iusiwZH https://t.co/u2m3g9PO7x pic.twitter.com/kUD1BGCphV
