We are thankful to the Whitehat group for their intervention, which represents an example of how important the community is in our space at this stage. Our mission keeps being to be the most trusted place to deploy and manage your capital in DeFi.

Oasis, the developer of the multi-signature wallet software into which the hacker placed funds, said in a blog post that whitehats recently alerted them to a previously undiscovered hole in the architecture of the admin multi-sig access. This flaw was exploited to recover the funds in response to a court order dated February 21.

Oasis stated this access was intended solely to protect user assets in the case of a prospective attack, and it would have allowed Oasis to swiftly patch any vulnerabilities discovered.
