🚨 WILD: Ethereum MEV bot “Yoink” FRONT-RUNS a hacker’s $7.8 MILLION exploit and steals the entire loot.
A hacker attacked an Ethereum whale’s Gnosis Safe wallet using a custom Uniswap V4 hook to unwrap aETHrsETH into freely transferable rsETH.
But once the exploit hit the mempool, Yoink detected the transaction and executed first in the same block, capturing the full $7.8M proceeds.
The attacker got exploited, while the funds currently remain with Yoink with no public indication that they will be returned.
Kelp says its contracts are safe, rsETH remains fully backed and all other operations are running normally.
The protocol has also placed the address holding the exploited funds on a temporary 24-hour hold.
