On January 9, according to market reports, the attacker initiated a flash loan on the SEI chain through the Synnax contract, borrowing 1.96 million WSEI (approximately $240,000) without repayment. The attack was triggered by a previous misoperation in Zone 3 blocks: address 0x9748…a714 mistakenly transferred funds into the contract, inadvertently providing funding for the attack. The attack path involves TX1 and TX2 transactions, indicating that on-chain misoperations can still pose significant risk points in DeFi attacks.
