Hackers Breach DeFi Protocol Scallop

Hackers Breach DeFi Protocol Scallop

The lending platform Scallop, based on the Sui blockchain, has been hacked. The perpetrators extracted approximately 150,000 SUI from the sSUI rewards pool.

The project team reported that the vulnerability was in a side smart contract that was no longer in use for core operations. The main protocol and user deposits were unaffected.

Developers temporarily suspended the platform’s operations for a security check. After some time, Scallop resumed normal operations. Users can now deposit and withdraw assets without hindrance.

Project representatives promised to fully compensate for the damage and cover 100% of the losses from their own funds. The team continues its investigation and has pledged to publish a detailed report later.

At the time of writing, Scallop’s total value locked amounts to $22.82 million.
