The DAO Maker project (not to be confused with the well-known MakerDAO) is a launchpad that claims to be “building the future of venture capital”. Its website boasts that users who stake their $DAO can “earn up to 70% APY”. The project suffered an exploit on June 3 in which attackers stole 7,376,245 USDC, a US dollar-pegged stablecoin. Although the project had been audited by three different auditing companies, hackers were able to exploit an issue in the claim portal for some tokens. According to the DAO Maker team, 5,521 users were affected, and lost an average of $1,250 each. Attackers immediately moved some of the funds to the Tornado Cash cryptocurrency tumbler, while some remained dormant for months before being moved.

Total loss estimated at $7,376,245.
