On February 20, a hacker who “claimed everything from the Genesis Protocol” cost Hope Finance DeFi about $2 million in cryptocurrency assets.
According to the DeFi protocol, Ugwoke Pascal Chukwuebuka, a Nigerian, was the hacker who defrauded the community while sharing a photo of himself holding a voter’s card.
The scammer used Tornado Cash’s mixing protocol to transfer 1095 Ethereum (ETH), according to blockchain security company Peckshield.
According to a representative from its auditor, Cognitos, the malicious player used a different smart contract than the one Hope Finance had audited.
Furthermore, Cognitos added that Hope Finance hired it to review the smart contract code and conduct a security assessment.
