"Following today's incident, 93.1% of the funds have been returned to the Moola governance multi-sig," the team tweeted.
The attacker kept the remaining funds some 700,000 CELO tokens as a negotiated bounty reward that the team had previously offered.The attacker took advantage of the low liquidity of MOO, the native token on Moola's lending protocol on the Celo blockchain.
CELO tokens held in their address on the Celo network. The next step was depositing 60,000 CELO tokens on Moola and borrowing 1.8 million MOO tokens. The attacker then used their remaining CELO tokens to rapidly inflate the price of MOO. The perpetrator moved on to leverage the increased value of their MOO tokens as collateral to borrow other assets in a loop. By using just $182,000 in CELO, they were able to drain 8.8 million CELO , 765,000 cEUR , 1.8 million MOO , and 644,000 cUSD from Moola Market, perWhile the project has recovered most of its funds, the activity on the lending protocol remains paused for the time being. The lending service will be resumed only after community discussions on the next steps, the team noted.
