What’s new? Cashio protocol has been hacked. This was reported by the project team on Twitter. Using a vulnerability that allows the issuance of an infinite number of stablecoins, the attacker mined 2 billion CASH tokens and then exchanged them for other assets through the decentralized exchange Saber. The hacker withdrew assets worth $28 million, according to Defi Llama. As a result of the hack, the value of CASH plummeted from $1 to $0,00005813.
What is Cashio? It is a DeFi protocol on the Solana blockchain that allows customers to issue CASH stablecoins. The deposits in the application are secured by interest-bearing tokens of the liquidity provider.

On the same day, OneRing Finance, a multichain protocol, was hacked, resulting in a loss of about $2 million.
