The creator of UwU Lend is Michael Patryn, co-founder of the defunct cryptocurrency exchange QuadrigaCX, known by the pseudonym 0xSifu. Neither he nor the protocol team has commented on the new incident yet.
Earlier on June 10, UwU Lend was hacked for $19.3 million. The protocol’s operations were suspended a few hours after the attack.
