Term Finance Vault Exploited: $8.5M Lost in Recent Hack

Term Finance, an Ethereum-based lending platform, has suffered a security breach that drained approximately $8.5 million in digital assets from its Term Vault.

The exploit occurred recently and resulted in the loss of 2,843 ETH (worth roughly $6.9 million) and 1.68 million USDC. The stolen USDC was subsequently swapped for DAI, according to on-chain data.
