Security firms seek to make it more difficult for scammers to get away with DeFi project hacks By Cointelegraph

The rise of community-oriented blockchain security companies may be making it more difficult for alleged bad actors to get away without a trace.

Early Wednesday, CertiK issued a community alert regarding Flurry Finance, where its smart contracts were allegedly breached by hackers, leading to $293,000 worth of funds being stolen. Shortly after the incident, CertiK published the wallet addresses of the alleged perpetrator, the address of the malicious token contract, and a PancakeSwap pair address allegedly involved in the attack, leading to a warning issued on BscScan. While the firm audited the project’s smart contracts, it appears that the exploit was the result of external dependencies.
