Veil Cash hacked
Veil.Cash, a privacy protocol on Base, suffered an exploit on its legacy privacy pools due to a misconfigured zk-SNARK verifier, allowing an attacker to drain approximately 2.9 ETH (~$5,000). Whitehats and the exploiter returned the funds, resulting in a 100% recovery. The project's newer pools were unaffected.
