Raft, a decentralized finance lending platform, was hacked, with the exploiter making away with 1,577 ETH, worth approximately $3.3 million at current rates.

Raft co-funder David Garai confirmed the hacker attack in a Telegram message. Out of the 1,577 ETH, 1,570 tokens were sent to a burn address, likely erroneously, leaving the exploiter with just about 7 ETH. Blockchain dataon Arkham shows that prior to the attack, the hacker's address received 18 ETH through crypto mixer service Tornado Cash,which may have been to fund transactions.

After the loot, payment of transaction fees, and effective transfer, the hacker's crypto wallet had a remaining balance of 14 ETH. The exploit has seen Raft's R dollar-pegged stablecoin lose up to 50% in value, dropping from its supposed $1 price shortly after the hack. Nevertheless, it plowed back to the value of around $0.70 cents.
