Joseph Delong, main technology officer of decentralized finance (DeFi) platform SushiSwap, announced that a hacker compromised the supply chain of its token launchpad platform, MISO.

Co-ordinate to Delong, the "anonymous contractor with the GH handle AristoK3 injected malicious code into the Miso front end end," replacing the sale wallet address with their own and afterward acquiring 865 Ether (ETH), valued at $3 meg. This data can be verified via EtherScan.

The hacker exploited the single target of the Jay Pegs Auto Mart token auction, a parody NFT project imitating the value of a 2007 Kia Sedona.

On what he chosen the "hardest twenty-four hours of my life and then far," the former senior software engineer at ConsenSys claimed to have gained little support from leading crypto exchanges FTX and Binance in his pursuit of the funds.

Delong publicly expressed his suspicions of the hacker's identity as blockchain and web developer Eratos. The individual hasn't yet responded to the accusations.

Just last calendar month, a white hat security programmer miraculously saved the SushiSwap protocol from a potentially disastrous $350-million hack, again through its token launchpad platform, MISO, afterwards discovering a severe vulnerability within the sale contract of the BitDAO token sale.

Fortunately, the exploit wasn't discovered past loitering hackers, and the auction connected without disturbance. Despite this, the result did showcase — as the white chapeau described — the "obvious misstep" taken by the team's security performance.

The DeFi platform appear its highly anticipated "7/20" project update in July this year, revealing the future launch of a new automated market place maker chosen Trident designed to become the most uppercase-efficient on the market.
