On October 28, 2026, an unknown address took control of Hifi Finance's governance vote and drained about $1 million in user collateral, mainly real-world asset (RWA) tokens. The attacker used four last-minute votes to mint 25 million new governance tokens, gaining control without exploiting code flaws but by manipulating voting rules. This incident highlights risks in DeFi protocols where governance tokens are undervalued compared to collateral, making attacks financially attractive. Hifi's token price dropped 25%, and the case raises concerns about the lack of deposit protection and the importance of governance safeguards like timelocks and quorums. The project has not yet commented on the event.
