Aave recovered $8 million of the $10 million stolen in yesterday’s flash loan exploit by the Lazarus Group, the DeFi protocol announced on April 4, 2025. A smart contract patch was deployed at 2 AM PDT, and the platform resumed operations. The remaining $2 million is still with the hackers, but Aave’s team is working with Chainalysis to trace the funds. Users are urged to update wallet permissions as a precaution.
