#Infini遭攻击
Hacker hijacks 50 million dollars! Infini makes a shocking promise: user funds will be compensated 100%, and the withdrawal channel is surprisingly operating normally?
When the news of the 49.5 million dollar hacker attack broke, the entire crypto community held its breath—but Infini's response was like a reverse trope thriller: founder Christian admitted to the vulnerabilities while claiming that the withdrawal function was operating as usual, even daring to say, "in the worst case, full compensation." Is this a genius-level crisis management or a carefully designed smokescreen?
Deep inquiry 1: The anti-logic of normalizing withdrawals
Keeping the withdrawal channel open during a hacker incident is like allowing customers to withdraw money freely after a bank vault has been raided. On-chain detectives discovered that the stolen funds mainly came from the protocol's liquidity pool, and user wallet assets were not directly harmed, but how can the team ensure that hackers won't penetrate again? Insiders revealed that Infini activated the "shadow system" within one hour after the attack, transferring core assets to cold wallets; this "surgical cutting" may become a new paradigm.
The dark humor of compensation promises
Behind the bold claim of "full compensation" lies a shortfall of 50 million dollars in crypto assets. Infini has never publicly disclosed the scale of its reserves, but on-chain data shows that its DAO treasury has only 23 million dollars left. Some analysts sharply pointed out: either the team secretly misappropriates user staking profits to fill the hole, or they are preparing to launch a "vampire attack"—attracting new funds through high-interest borrowing to plug the gap. This compensation drama may be brewing a larger liquidity crisis.
Industry's hidden rules exposed
Unlike the silence of traditional financial institutions, Infini chose transparency as its shield. But seasoned security experts warn: this move could expose more protocol weaknesses, and hackers may launch a "commitment extortion attack"—specifically targeting projects that dare to promise compensation, using public opinion pressure to extract higher ransoms. As security vulnerabilities turn into a public relations competition, the trust mechanism of DeFi is undergoing a brutal stress test.
