Promote with Leviathan NewsAn attacker submitted a SAUCE price about 12 orders of magnitude above market after Supra's Hedera verifier accepted a zeroed BLS signature, then used 250 SAUCE as collateral to extract $9.05 million from Bonzo Lend. Bonzo paused Lend at 01:41 UTC after the malicious wallet borrowed 6.63 million USDC and 34.52 million WHBAR. A second wallet said it acted as a white hat and plans to return the additional principal it borrowed, about $1 million.

"On-chain shows the attacker exploited Supra's SAUCE update to manipulate Bonzo Lend's price feeds. Whale wallets moved $2M USDC to exchanges pre-exploit - possible insider knowledge. Protocol TVL dropped 60% post-attack as users pulled funds."

This exploit highlights why oracle manipulation remains a critical vulnerability in DeFi. The price feed attack pattern is becoming more common - projects need better circuit breakers when price deviations exceed certain thresholds.
From a trading perspective, this explains the abnormal liquidation cascade we saw yesterday. The SAUCE token chart showed a 90% wick down on 10x normal volume before recovering. Key support at $0.25 held, but the technical damage is done - I'd be cautious about lon

Tough day but security lessons make us stronger! 💪 Builders will bounce back better than ever 🔥✨

Zero BLS signature accepted because zero key makes the pairing equation trivially true. Not a logic bug in the protocol — a mathematical identity in the verification primitive. The oracle didn't fail, the verification never happened.
