“The Truflation team detected some abnormal activity. An attacker launched an attack using malware,” the project said in a Sept. 25 X post.


Truflation added it was monitoring the incident and is taking measures to protect funds while working with “leading industry partners” and law enforcement. 


The project — backed by the likes of Coinbase Ventures and Chainlink — is also trying to contact the hacker and is open to negotiating. It added it would reward white hats offering assistance.Source:Truflation


About $5.23 million was lost from Truflation’s treasury multisignature and personal wallets on Ethereum, while around $100,000 combined was lost on seven other chains, according to blockchain sleuth ZachXBT.


A separate assessment by blockchain security firm Cyvers found that Truflation lost $4.95 million.


Approximately $3.89 million in Truflation (TRUF), $1.07M in Ether (ETH) and $236,000 in the DAI stablecoin was stolen from the team’s Ethereum wallets.ZachXBT’s assessment of Truflation’s security incident. Source: Zapper/ZachXBT
