Maya Protocol, a Cosmos SDK-based DeFi platform, suspended operations after an attacker exploited six software bugs to steal about $1.7 million in Bitcoin and other assets. This attack caused the protocol's native token, CACAO, to plummet nearly 89% in one day, severely impacting liquidity providers. The exploit manipulated cross-chain accounting, a known vulnerability in such systems, inflating token balances to enable the theft. The total estimated loss, including market fallout, reached $11 million, raising concerns about the security of cross-chain DeFi platforms and the potential for recovery remains uncertain.
