Yearn Finance, that paragon of digital finance, graces us once more with its penchant for theatrical breaches-this time bleeding 103 ETH into the void. How quaint.
Because nothing says “trustless future” like a protocol that treats its treasury as a piñata. 🎉
Yearn Finance, ever the overachiever, now holds the title of “Most Exploited Protocol” with four breaches in weeks. This time, a legacy v1 contract-formerly known as iearn, because nostalgia is so secure-lost $300k. Just weeks after a $6.6M “donation” to hackers. How endearing.
The Plot Thickens (Again)
The villain? A flash loan, that DeFi party trick where hackers borrow fortunes to crash parties. 🎭 They manipulated token prices, looted iearn assets, and cashed out to ETH. PeckShield, the blockchain’s Sherlock Holmes, tracked the loot to address 0x0F21…4066. The contract? A relic so outdated it probably still believes in honor among thieves. ⚔️
Yearn Finance: where every audit is a cliffhanger 📖

A Legacy of Chaos
Legacy contracts: because why retire old code when you can let it rot in public? 🕳️ Flash loans let hackers play Jekyll and Hyde with prices. Users, please “remain cautious”-as if vigilance ever stopped a rug pull. 🔍
The Greatest Hits: Yearn’s Exploit Mixtape
- 2021: $11M vanished via price manipulation. 🎩
- 2023: Another $11M exit. Because repetition is art. 🖼️
- 2024: $1.4M borrowed from Euler Finance-rude! 📉
- November 2025: $6.6M “infinite mint” exploit. Inflation, but make it personal. 💸
Each hack: a masterpiece of DeFi noir. And the plot twist? They still haven’t fixed the v1 contracts. 🎬

Security’s Sisyphean Task
PeckShield tracks the thief; users scramble to audit their balances. Yearn’s team? Silent as a monastery. 🤫 They’re “reviewing v1 contracts”-a task as urgent as fixing a sieve. Flash loans? Still the weapon of choice for DeFi’s Robin Hoods (if Robin robbed the poor). 🏹
Pro tip: Audit your vaults regularly. Or don’t-why trust code that treats security like a suggestion? 🔐
