$8.5M Lost in Term Labs Governance Exploit

DeFi protocol Term Labs has fallen victim to an estimated $8.5 million governance exploit, with an attacker gaining control of its governance system and draining several vaults.

The attack did not involve breaking the protocol's code but rather the attacker acquiring enough voting power to approve transfers of funds.

This type of vulnerability is a reminder that even well-designed systems can be exploited if users are not cautious with their access controls.
