The exploit was said to be the largest in DeFi space in 2023 so far. This came at a time when the global banking sector was facing a tough time thanks to the bank crisis although news in the crypto market has been quite positive with a Bitcoin price rally. Earlier, CoinGape reported that the exploiter used flash loans to steal the assets. Audit platform BlockSec said the attacker returned a majority of the assets lost by Euler Finance.

“Euler exploiter just returned 51000 Eth to Euler finane. Still some Ethers are remaining in the exploiter account.”
