BonkDAO suffers malicious governance proposal attack, 4.426 trillion BONK stolen, loss about 20 million USD

The attacker obtained voting rights by purchasing 882.2 billion BONK and passed a malicious proposal with only 7 votes participating, stealing treasury assets.

Today's Dark Lines

Governance attacks, perfect pricing traps, crisis in the strait — today's three clues point to the same theme: fragile consensus is being repriced. BonkDAO's 1% quorum made 20 million USD disappear, Samsung's 1810% profit growth led to a stock price plummet, and missiles in the Strait of Hormuz have once again put global energy transport on a tightrope. Whether it's DAO governance, market expectations, or geopolitical games, everyone is learning the same lesson: when the cost of consensus is underestimated, collapse only takes a moment.
