0x0dC2c5D6b05A317076CF501f7E7be36A5dfe9b66 (original attacker); intercepted by MEV bot 'Yoink' at 0xFDe0d1575Ed8E06FBf36256bcdfA1F359281455A

Funds moved to

The MEV bot 'Yoink' front-ran the original attacker within the same block, capturing 2,882.37 of the ~2,900 rsETH drained via its contract 0x80BF7Db69556D9521c03461978B8fC731DBBD4e4, then routed proceeds toward 0xC70f00CD7E461686b04B0E912E309becA8b80ea0, which Kelp paused for 24 hours. No restitution has occurred.

Chronology

1 beat
  1. On September 15, 2026, at 04:38:47 UTC (block 25,980,525), an attacker exploited a flaw in a custom Gnosis Safe module (not Safe's core code, not Kelp DAO's own infrastructure) belonging to an individual user. The module had a defective authorization check in a router's multicall/DELEGATECALL path, which the attacker abused to inject aEthrsETH into a maliciously-hooked Uniswap V4 pool, then swap and redeem the position. The nominal amount involved was approximately 2,900 rsETH (~$7.73-7.8M). Critically, an unrelated MEV bot known as 'Yoink' detected the same opportunity and front-ran the original attacker within the identical block, intercepting 2,882.37 rsETH before the original attacker could claim it. This means the headline loss figure does not reflect what the original attacker actually retained. Kelp DAO placed a 24-hour pause on the address that received the Yoink-captured funds as a precaution. No restitution to the victim has been reported.
