Today, the Balancer v2 protocol was hacked. The attacker exploited a logical error in the access control function manageUserBalance of the V2 pool, which allowed unauthorized internal withdrawals through the validateUserBalanceOp function. Currently, the stolen funds have accumulated to $116.6 million and are still growing. Security firms such as PeckShield and Nansen have intervened and are conducting ongoing tracking.
