Hedera lending protocol Bonzo Lend hit for $9 million after Supra verifier accepts manipulated price update

The Hedera lending protocol Bonzo Lend suffered a $9 million loss after its Supra verifier accepted a manipulated price update, leading to unauthorized borrowing. In a twist, one of the attackers claimed to be a white hat hacker and promised to return the $1 million borrowed, adding an unexpected layer to the incident.

The event underscores the critical need for robust verification processes to prevent such exploitations.
