The need for better security protocols in the blockchain sector has yet again been underscored by a recent exploit in the world of decentralized finance (DeFi). In this particular case, this exploit impacted the OKX decentralized exchange (DEX), allegedly due to a leaked private key. The details of the issue remain scant, but blockchain security firm, SlowMist, reported about the leak of the OKX DEX proxy admin owner’s private key on December 13.
Crypto insights firm, Scopescan, confirmed that several users reported what seemed to be an exploit event on the OKX DEX contract. Upon contacting the exchange on this matter, it acknowledged the occurrence of this event stating that the old abandoned MM contract was attacked. SlowMist added that the user tokens are transferred via the DEX contract once they authorize the TokenApprove contract. The stolen tokens have since accumulated to approximately $430,000. The same exploit has plagued several other DeFi exchanges like Florence Finance, KyberSwap, HTX, and Heco Bridge, cementing the urgency of stringent security measures in the blockchain technology sphere.
