ChainCatcher news, Venus Protocol has released an update on the follow-up progress regarding the abnormal activity in the THE fund pool. In addition to previously suspending THE borrowing and withdrawals, the collateral factor (CF) for seven markets has now been reduced to 0 as a preventive measure against markets where a single user holds an excessively high proportion of collateral. The seven affected markets are BCH, LTC, UNI, AAVE, FIL, TWT, and lisUSD. All other markets remain unaffected and continue normal operations. Regarding the attack method, preliminary determination shows that the attacker began accumulating THE tokens through normal deposit processes starting from June 2025, eventually holding up to 84% of the maximum limit (approximately 12.2 million THE). Yesterday, the hacker directly transferred THE tokens into the protocol contract, instantly pushing up the supply and creating a massive collateral. The attacker then engaged in recursive price manipulation, taking advantage of extremely low on-chain THE liquidity combined with TWAP oracle delays. The hacker initiated a loop: depositing THE, borrowing other assets, using borrowed assets to buy more THE on-chain, waiting for the TWAP oracle to update and push up the price. Venus stated that it is committed to transparency and will publish a full report once the investigation is complete.
