April 23rd, 2023

FilDA, a multi-chain lending protocol, was attacked earlier today on the Elastos Smart Chain (ESC) and REI Network, resulting in a loss of approximately 700K USD. No other FilDA deployments have been affected.

The vulnerability has been identified and the attack vector isolated. However, ESC and Rei FilDA platforms have been halted and will only be reinstated after a thorough review of the ongoing situation.

We became aware of the potential platform exploit in the early hours of this morning and we continue to analyze the on-chain activity by working alongside CEX, security and ecosystem partners to help trace and monitor these addresses. The addresses discovered received funds from a wallet which has been identified to have interacted with CEX accounts; we have discovered links to IP addresses too. As a result, we are now working with security firms to trace the hacker.

Considering the gravity of the situation, we will ask law enforcement to pursue the case. We encourage affected users to contact their local law enforcement too so they are aware of the theft.

Please be assured that we will continue to share information with the community as the investigation progresses. Following our initial response to the exploit a plan of action will be formulated and this will be shared in due course.

Thank you for your patience at this time and we’re truly sorry for the disruption this has caused for our users.
