🚨 EXPLOIT ALERT: Ambient Finance Hit by $110K Logic Bug 🚨
A clinical "Accounting Attack" just drained approximately 84 ETH from
ambient.finance/ . While most people are watching prices, this exploiter watched the code, and found a fatal flaw in the "Surplus Collateral" logic.
Here is exactly how the 'Dark Forest' claimed another victim today:
1️⃣ The Capital: Attacker pulled a massive flash loan from Balancer (50 WETH 1 USDC).
2️⃣ The Loop: They cycled 14 rapid-fire commands through the CrocSwapDex routing, bouncing between HotProxy swaps and WarmPath LP minting/burning.
3️⃣ The Glitch: By abusing DEPOSIT_SURPLUS and DISBURSE_SURPLUS in the ColdPath, they tricked the protocol into thinking they had unwithdrawn collateral.
4️⃣ The Exit: They walked away with 83.7 ETH.
The Brutal Reality of 2026 DeFi:
The attacker paid ~50% of the loot (~$55K) as a bribe to Titan Builder to keep the transaction private. This meant no one saw it coming until the money was already gone.
Complex routing creates complex risks. If a protocol has "Hot," "Warm," and "Cold" paths, any desync in accounting is a ticking time bomb. 💣
