Recently, an exploit affecting FEG tokens occurred, resulting in over $1 million stolen due to cross-chain message processing errors. Holders suffered a 99% loss.

Timeline of the Event

The FEG token exploit came after a suspicious attack on the 'SmartBridge' project. Attackers liquidated the stolen funds, leaving holders with 99% losses. The FEG token is a key component for the project's 'SmartDeFi' launchpads operating on multiple blockchain networks.

Details of the Vulnerability

According to CertiK's analysis, the exploit was linked to an error in cross-chain message relay contract logic. CertiK confirmed that the contract was deployed by an address tagged to the FEG team and was not related to Wormhole. This marks the third attack on the FEG project in recent years.

Community Reaction and Consequences

The DeFi community expressed concern following yet another breach. BlockSec discovered that the attacker exploited a vulnerability via SmartBridge's relayer feature. The attacks spanned several blockchains, including Ethereum, Base, and BNB Chain, causing over $1 million in damages.

The FEG token exploit significantly impacted holders and raised concerns within the DeFi community. It is expected that the situation will encourage projects to conduct more thorough security audits of their contracts.
