Just days after discovering that Mirror Protocol had been exploited for almost $90 million seven months ago, it appears the protocol is suffering another attack due to an error in the configuration of price oracles. .@mirror_protocol has just been exploited again due to Terra Classic validators reporting the price of the new Terra 2.0 $LUNA coin (~$9.80) instead of the original Terra Classic $LUNC coin (~$0.0001) This is a massive operations failurehttps://t.co/hO0M0UFBYq https://t.co/ygbr3ij4iS pic.twitter.com/PO0huxX8oQ — ChainLinkGod.eth (@ChainLinkGod) May 30, 2022 The attacker is apparently taking advantage of the fact that price oracles are mismatching the old LUNC token with the new LUNA token.

The report estimates that the exploit has already cost Mirror Protocol around $2 million, though as of yet it has not been completely confirmed.

Mirror Protocol is a DeFi platform that allows for the creation of synthetic assets that track the price of real-world assets, such as stocks. Its core contracts were deployed on Terra Classic, but its assets are available on Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain (BSC). This is the second tim...
