Attacker Exploits Crypto Stablecoin for a $25 Million Payday

Over the weekend, crypto protocol Resolv, which issues the USR stablecoin, was exploited by an attacker who was able to mint nearly 80 million new USR tokens out of thin air after only putting down a few hundred thousand dollars’ worth of collateral. According to reports, the attacker was able to pull off the exploit after gaining access to a private key associated with the centralized backend control for minting new tokens in the protocol.
