Hackers Party While Bunni DEX Loses Millions 🎉

by

Life in the crypto realm is a delicate dance between hope and despair, where even the most bullish markets cannot shield the faint-hearted from calamity. Just yesterday, the Bunni DEX-nestled within the illustrious Uniswap V4 ecosystem-found itself the victim of a heist so brazen, one might think the hackers had a subscription to the platform’s security flaws.

A Vulnerability, A Vacuum, And A Lot Of Lost Coins

PeckShieldAlert, that vigilant sentinel of blockchain chaos, reported that Bunni’s defenses were pierced by digital marauders. Approximately $2.4 million in assets vanished like smoke, leaving behind only the faint scent of poor code hygiene. Who these cyber-phantoms are? A mystery. What assets they stole? Also a mystery. But rest assured, the bull market’s glittering facade now has a crack.

Bunni, ever the gracious host, took to X to announce the exploit with the urgency of a man informing guests that the cake is slightly burnt. “We’ve paused all smart contracts,” they declared, “because nothing says ‘trust’ like freezing your users mid-transaction.” Their team now investigates, presumably while sipping lukewarm tea and avoiding eye contact with their codebase.

🚨 The Bunni app has been affected by a security exploit. As a precaution, we have paused all smart contract functions on all networks. Our team is actively investigating and will provide updates soon. Thank you for your patience.

Patience, they say. Yet one wonders how many users will remain patient when their funds are now the hackers’ new savings account. Or perhaps the hackers are simply investing wisely-unlike Bunni.

Uniswap V4: A Fortress Or A House Of Cards?

This fiasco raises the eternal question: Can any protocol truly outwit the relentless tide of crypto bandits? Bunni’s collapse is a reminder that in this digital Wild West, even the most polished protocols can crumble under the weight of a single oversight.

Uniswap V4, launched in February 2025 with promises of gas efficiency and “revolutionary” features, now faces the awkward question: Did it forget to add “security” to its list of selling points? One might joke that their developers prioritized champagne toasts over code reviews.

As U.Today continues its noble crusade against scams, it’s clear that the only constant in crypto is the occasional reminder that your wallet might be someone else’s piggy bank. Stay safe, stay skeptical, and always back up your keys-or risk becoming the next chapter in this tragicomedy.
