$821,900 lost in NEM token contract attack exploiting PancakeSwap USDT/NEM pair flaw

An attacker exploited a flaw in the NemTokenV2 contract on PancakeSwap's USDT/NEM trading pair, causing losses of about $821,900 on October 22. The contract mistakenly counted tokens transferred into the liquidity pool as sell volume without verifying if a swap had settled, allowing the attacker to repeat a sequence that drained NEM reserves. By cycling transfers and removals 42 times, the attacker reduced recorded reserves and sold remaining NEM at a higher price for USDT. This incident highlights risks in smart contract design and the need for improved security checks in decentralized finance platforms.

The NEM token exploit on PancakeSwap involved a loss of about $821,900 due to a contract flaw.
