On January 9th, a well-known Layer2 scaling protocol experienced a security black swan event. According to official confirmation and disclosures from the on-chain data tracking platform, its deployed smart contract (0x764C64b2A09b09Acb100B80d8c505Aa6a0302EF2) was successfully attacked by hackers, resulting in the theft of 8,535 ETH, equivalent to approximately $26.44 million.

The attack came suddenly. The official responded quickly, immediately warning users—pause any interactions with the contract to prevent further losses. At the same time, the team has activated an emergency response mechanism and launched a joint investigation with law enforcement agencies.

After the incident was exposed, the official promised to continuously update the latest developments through official channels. This serves as a reminder to users across the entire ecosystem: even the most well-known protocols can have vulnerabilities, and ensuring fund security and risk prevention remains a top priority. The official's transparent communication and proactive response are also worth monitoring for subsequent handling results.

honestly, let me break this down... 8.5k eth gone just like that? ngl if you examine the data on these governance precedents, historically speaking we've seen similar exploits happen *right after* devs got complacent about audit cycles. the tokenomics framework clearly wasn't stress-tested against this vector, fundamentally speaking.

Here comes again, even well-known protocols are no exception? Losing 26.44 million just like that, truly unbelievable. --- 85,035 ETH just disappeared like that, it's outrageous. --- I knew it, no matter how big the project is, you have to be cautious. This time, many people will learn a lesson. --- That hacker is really ruthless, daring to attack well-known protocols, their courage is incredible. --- Official responses are quick, but the money still can't be recovered. It's heartbreaking for those who got scammed. --- Talking about smart contract vulnerabilities is pointless; you still need to be vigilant yourself. --- 26.44 million, brother, evaporated in an instant. That's the crypto world. --- I just want to know how the hacker found this vulnerability; it must be very professional. --- It seems we need to reevaluate these Layer2 solutions; they don't seem very secure. --- So, even the most reputable protocols must be cautious. Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

Another major event has occurred, over 8,500 ETH lost... That's why I always say don't go all in on a single protocol. Being well-known doesn't equal being safe. Wake up, everyone. This time, the response was quite quick; now let's see how they handle it moving forward.

Here we go again, well-known protocols can't even stop hackers --- Over 8,000 ETH just gone, outrageous --- That's why I never keep coins in smart contracts; self-custody is the way to go --- The official response was quick, which is a plus, but how did they only discover this vulnerability after so long? --- Wow, another "we are investigating," but where are the investigation results? --- Layer 2 is inherently risky, and now it's been exposed --- $26.44 million just disappeared, typical daily operation --- Let's see how the official team handles the compensation—whether they compensate users or just pass the buck --- Cold wallets HODL is really the right move; these contracts are all paper-thin --- Why do these well-known projects always have issues, while small projects seem fine?
