The decentralized exchange (DEX) and automated market maker (AMM) Balancer may have been attacked, with approximately $70 million in digital assets transferred to newly created wallets.

On-chain data shows that, according to Etherscan logs, the decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol transferred $70.9 million worth of liquid-staked Ether (ETH) tokens to a new wallet in three transactions.

Cryptocurrency intelligence platform Nansen stated in a post on X on Monday that these transfers included 6,850 StakeWise staked ETH (OSETH), 6,590 wrapped Ether (WETH), and 4,260 Lido wstETH (wSTETH).

While Balancer has not yet confirmed the attack, the millions of dollars flowing into new cryptocurrency wallets suggest that these transfers may have resulted from a security vulnerability.

Blockchain security firm Cyvers wrote in a post on X on Monday that the estimated suspicious multi-chain transactions related to Balancer could reach up to $84 million.

Two years ago, Balancer suffered a domain name system (DNS) attack on its front-end website, which the protocol announced on September 20. Hackers redirected website users to a phishing site associated with malicious smart contracts, aimed at stealing user funds.

According to blockchain detective ZachXBT, approximately $238,000 in digital assets were stolen in the phishing attack.

In August 2023, Balancer also suffered an attack involving nearly $1 million in stablecoins, just a week after the protocol disclosed a "serious vulnerability" related to some of its liquidity pools.
