Incident Details
In their third major hack in two years, the Abracadabra defi lending project lost $1.8 million of their Magic Internet Money stablecoin. An attacker took advantage of a bug in the project smart contracts to borrow more than their provided collateral would normally allow. The attack was funded via Tornado Cash, and the exploiter then swapped the stolen tokens for ETH and laundered them back through Tornado.The project disclosed the theft, describing the exploit as affecting “some deprecated contracts”. They downplayed the theft, saying they’d bought back the stolen assets using treasury funds.Abracadabra previously suffered a $13 million theft in March 2025, and a $6.5 million theft in January 2024.
Total loss estimated at $1,800,000.
