An old Aztec Connect smart contract on Ethereum, inactive since 2023, was exploited on June 14, 2026, resulting in a loss of about $2.1 million in ETH, DAI, and wstETH. The contract was immutable after Aztec Labs renounced admin keys, preventing any fixes or intervention. The exploit exploited a flaw in verification logic, but it did not affect the current Aztec Network or its token. This incident highlights risks in DeFi when funds remain in deprecated contracts without upgrade or rescue options, urging investors to check for stranded assets in old protocols.
