Aztec Connect DeFi platform exploited for $2.1M due to transaction verification flaw years after shutdown

Aztec Connect, a deprecated DeFi platform, was exploited for approximately $2.1 million due to a flaw in its transaction verification process. The attacker manipulated zero-knowledge proof verification, creating unbacked balances and withdrawing assets including 909 ETH and 270,000 DAI. The exploit affected only the old Aztec Connect platform, which was shut down in 2023, and did not impact the current Aztec Network or its users. This incident highlights ongoing security risks in the crypto space, especially for immutable smart contracts without administrative control.
