On Friday last week, the hacker capitalized on an exploit on Transit Swap's swap contract, which typically facilitates the exchange of assets.
The Transit Swap hack is the most recent in a long line of decentralized finance-related exploits this year. In September, prominent crypto market maker Wintermute had $160 million siphoned out of its DeFi business, while Curve Finance lost $570,000 in a hack in August.
"At present, the security companies and project teams of all parties are still continuing to track the hacking incident and communicate with the hacker through email and on-chain methods," Transit Swap wrote on Twitter. "The team will continue to work hard to recover more assets."
