Terra: Mirror Protocol could collapse due to a new exploit

 


Terra 's Mirror Protocol was the victim of an attack in which the perpetrators stole $2 million. The exploit remains unpatched and could get even worse in the coming hours.


Terra 's Mirror Protocol was the target of another cyber attack yesterday. Users report that the attackers have already looted more than $2 million worth of various assets. Affected assets include mBTC, mETH, mDOT, and mGLXY. MirrorUser was the first to notice the attack.


FatMan is part of the Terra Research Forum, which has been posting analysis and updates on the Terra collapse over the past few weeks. FatMan assumes that there is an error in the pricing oracle. This tells the system that the asset is "worth around $5, even though the actual price is less than a microcent." Accordingly, “for $1,000 worth of LUNC, an attacker can now load $1.3 million in collateral and then pull out real-world assets of that value.”


FatMan also provided an example of the transaction on the Terra Finder website . He expects the situation to get even worse once the market opens. The attackers could then pull all assets from the pools, including those tied to stocks like mAAPL and mAMZN.


The Mirror Protocol team has not yet commented on the issue. FatMan is concerned that this behavior will only make the situation worse as time is running out to fix the vulnerability. He asked both the development team and Do Kwon to fix the issue:


“Mirror will accumulate bad debts and the system will collapse. Now is not the time to be careless."


User Todd G explained how the problem can be fixed: by updating the pricing oracle. Terra needs to resolve the situation quickly before things get any worse.

Terra is up to its neck in water

It seems FatMan has already given up hope: "It looks like nothing is going to happen and so the project will surely collapse tomorrow." FatMan also said there are other vectors and urged users to withdraw their money from the project.


After a dramatic crash , the exploit is now the final nail in Terra 's coffin . The last thing the project needed was an attack. This could end the last hopes left with the release of Terra 2.0 .


It is not yet clear how high the loss from this attack will be. However, it is already clear that the image damage is enormous. Investigations are already underway against the Terra staff and Do Kwon and this incident will not make the situation any easier.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin

MSP Recovery and Tokenology aim to optimize healthcare with the help of Polygon

  MSP Recovery LLC, a Miami, US-based healthcare provider with an estimated enterprise value of $32.6 billion, is partnering with Web3 company Tokenology to jointly launch a new blockchain platform called Lifechain. Lifechain wants to leverage the verifiable and transparent nature of blockchain technology to aggregate medical care claims, medical expense reports and patient data and streamline their processing. For this purpose, MSP Recovery launched its own LifeWallet in January, which already has 1 million users. In addition to the wallet and blockchain platform, an associated crypto token called LifeCoin is also used.

For this we need scalability, security and sustainability, which we have only found with Polygon

British financial regulator criticizes cooperation between Binance and Paysafe

  The British financial regulator FCA has expressed concerns about the partnership between market-leading crypto exchange Binance and payment service provider Paysafe. As the British regulator complains, the partnership gives Binance access to the influential British payment network Faster Payments Service (FPS), from which the crypto exchange was previously cut off. Last June, the FCA ordered Binance to stop all business activities in Great Britain. As a result, prominent banks such as Barclays have terminated their cooperation with the leading crypto trading platform . Through the cooperation with Paysafe, Binance can now again offer deposits in British pounds sterling and transactions within the European Payments Area (SEPA). However, this fact is a thorn in the side of the FCA, as it classifies the crypto exchange as a “considerable risk factor”. However, the financial regulator sees little room for maneuver to counteract this, as the Financial Times reports . “ Paysafe understands
