  Short communication on the ongoing Wintermute hack

• @0xtuba @0xtuba on x

  wintermute's address had 7 leading 0's according to @k06a's estimation, can brute for this in 50 days using 1000 GPUs the attacker was definitely a pro https://twitter.com/...

• @evgenygaevoy @evgenygaevoy on x

  We are (still) open to treat this a s a white hat, so if you are the attacker - get in touch

  Wintermute was hacked for ~160m a few hours ago. I took a quick look and my best guess is that it was a hot wallet compromise due to the Profanity bug that was publicly disclosed a few weeks ago. https://twitter.com/...

  If you are a lender to Wintermute, again, we are solvent, but if you feel safer to recall the loan, we can absolutely do that

• @evgenygaevoy @evgenygaevoy on x

  Out of 90 assets that has been hacked only two have been for notional over $1 million (and none more than $2.5M), so there shouldn't be a major selloff of any sort. We will communicate with both affected teams asap

  Oh no oh no oh no 70% of stolen funds ($114.3m) are 3pooliiing 13.6% in ETH & BTC Large holdings in other less liquid tkns (some of them pretty illiquid tbh) — don't be surprised if we see some 20-30% wicks... https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...

  1/4 We would like to inform the community that there has been a security breach on one of the external market maker wallets that may impact the $PRIMATE liquidity pools. https://twitter.com/...

• @dystopiabreaker @dystopiabreaker on x

  why is anyone having admin keys with access to $100M+ be anything other than threshold or multisig accounts. wtf

• @dystopiabreaker @dystopiabreaker on x

  amazing. bad rng in a vanity generator caused the wintermute attack, not contract vuln https://twitter.com/...

• @cz_binance @cz_binance on x

  This looks like Profanity related. If you used vanity addresses in the past, you might want to move those funds to a different wallet, or @binance for safe keeping. https://twitter.com/...

  If it can happen to Wintermute... Stay safe. Stay paranoid. https://twitter.com/...

• @d1ll0nk @d1ll0nk on x

  Always hate to see it. I have a lot of respect for the Wintermute team, particularly @EvgenyGaevoy. I know they'll handle it as well as anyone could. Wish them luck identifying the thief and recovering funds. https://twitter.com/...

• @cobie @cobie on x

  Hmmmmmm 🤔🤔 https://twitter.com/...

• @evgenygaevoy @evgenygaevoy on x

  We are solvent with twice over that amount in equity left

  [DB] Wintermute says Hacked for $160m in DeFi Operations

• @buda_kyiv @buda_kyiv on x

  Wow Single entry access to over 90 assets. That's ridiculous bad security practices The sell off is inevitable. You better check your portfolio tokens if they have @wintermute_t as a partner - those will be dumped soon We will prepare analysis ASAP #wintermutehack https://twitter…

• @crypto_mckenna McKenna on x

  Man not sure what went on here but hacks of this magnitude from elite operations in the space does not inspire confidence. Hope Wintermute manages to recover the funds. https://twitter.com/...

  Wintermute potential attack vector: a vulnerable Profanity-generated vanity address was on the contract whitelist and had permission to drain funds https://etherscan.io/... Anyone in the world with a decent GPU cluster can carry out similar attacks on Profanity addresses! ⚠️
