"[An] attack was initially attempted over a week ago, but it seems nobody noticed."
"Yesterday, $1.1M in referral rewards were robbed from the BSC-based perps platform."
"The alarm was raised by definalist (whilst the attack was still ongoing) and confirmed two hours later by the Level Finance team."
"Luckily, the losses were contained to the project’s referral programme, with Treasury funds and LP both safe."
"The hacker dumping LVL tokens for BNB initially crashed the price by 65%, though this has mostly recovered since."
"Level Finance’s LevelReferralControllerV2 contract contained a bug which allowed for repeated referral reward claims to be processed within the same epoch."
"The exploiter prepared the attack by creating many referrals and using flash loans to make swaps, thereby increasing their reward tier."
"In total, 214k LVL tokens were drained by the exploiter, who swapped them for 3,345 BNB, worth approximately $1.1M at the time of writing. The funds currently remain in the attacker’s address."

Recently, the platform suffered an attack where $1.1 million in referral rewards were stolen due to a bug in the LevelReferralControllerV2 contract, allowing for repeated reward claims to be processed.

Losses were contained to the referral program, with Treasury funds and LP remaining safe. The funds remain in the attacker's address.
