⚠️Suspected oracle exploit hits MoonwellDeFi on Base and Optimism — attackers manipulated the rsETH/ETH price feed, draining over $1M in what appears to be a MEV-driven attack.

"Our analysis indicates an issue with the token price (rsETH / ETH) feed from the off-chain oracle, which was exploited — possibly by a MEV bot — resulting in losses exceeding $1M. It appears that the price used by the protocol was incorrectly updated."
