Specifically, at least 34 million DAI and almost 100,000 ETH worth roughly $1.6 million have left Euler’s wallets. These were observed by various on-chain analytics firms such as PeckShield, BlockSec, ZachXBT, and many more.

At the moment, the Euler team is quiet on social media. It may be that the team is already working toward stopping the hacker from exploiting the protocol any further. 

It is not clear what kind of exploit is being used by the hacker. Some have mentioned that the hack is a typical flash loan exploit. However, some claim that this could be worse — it may be the work of a black hat attacker.

It is not clear how much will be drained from Euler’s coffers. However, the two addresses where the funds are going have been identified.
