SEI Chain Suffers $240,000 Flash Loan Attack

On January 9, according to market reports, an attacker initiated a flash loan on the SEI chain through the Synnax contract, borrowing 1.96 million WSEI (approximately $240,000) which was not repaid. This attack was triggered by a misoperation three blocks prior: address 0x9748…a714 mistakenly transferred funds into the contract, inadvertently providing funding support for the attack. The attack path involved TX1 and TX2 transactions, demonstrating that on-chain misoperations can still constitute critical risk points in DeFi attacks.
