The hacker used a re-entrancy attack to convert stolen assets into 11,700 ETH on the Ethereum network. The implications of the hack raised concerns about market trust and protocol security.

Community Response and Security Measures

The community responded with increased activity on GitHub and Discord. Blockchain security firms, such as PeckShield, played crucial roles in tracking the hacker's movements and monitoring the situation.
