## Resource

A seven-point-seven-million-dollar rsETH heist was foiled in real time by an MEV bot called “Yoink,” which front-ran the attacker before they could move the stolen assets. The breach targeted a custom Uniswap v4 liquidity module linked to a victim’s Ethereum Safe wallet, exploiting a vulnerability in the custom setup—not the core Kelp protocol. Kelp immediately paused transfers to the compromised address for 24 hours as a precaution, confirmed their main contracts remain secure, and is collaborating with security experts to investigate. Minting and withdrawals continue unaffected. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
