Legacy Yearn Vault Exploited in Second Attack on the Protocol This Month

Yield aggregator Yearn Finance finds itself licking its wounds after yet another exploit, this time to the tune of $300,000.

Security firm PeckShield confirmed the incident on Tuesday evening, Dec. 16, reporting that the exploiter was able to swap the stolen funds for 103 ETH, worth approximately $290,000 at current prices.

The recent hack is Yearn’s second in the last month, though today’s is much smaller than the $9 million loss at the beginning of the month.
