The DeFi project Penpie has been hacked, resulting in a loss of 27 million dollars

ChainCatcher news: Penpie, an independent decentralized finance protocol built on Pendle, was hacked this morning, resulting in a customer fund loss of approximately $27 million.

Previously, Penpie had suspended all deposit and withdrawal operations, and a Pendle spokesperson confirmed that customer funds are safe, suspending all contracts until the issue is resolved.

According to an Immunfi report, over $1.2 billion has been stolen through 154 hacking and exploitation incidents in 2024 alone. Immunefi founder and CEO Mitchell Amador stated that while most vulnerabilities occur in the DeFi space, vulnerabilities in CeFi infrastructure have caused the largest economic losses.

A report from PeckShield indicated that losses from hacking attacks in August 2024 exceeded $313 million, with two major attacks stealing approximately $238 million in Bitcoin and $55 million in Dai.

A report from Scam Sniffer noted that losses from phishing attacks surged by 215% in August 2024, with a single attack stealing $55 million.
