Ethereum-based WUSD/GLOVE protocol was exploited after attackers abused a reward mechanism to mint GLO tokens through multiple fresh wallet addresses. The attacker reportedly used flash-loaned USDT to repeatedly trigger reward payouts, then sold the minted GLO into protocol liquidity pools. Around $19,800 in USDC and USDT was drained from the GLO-USDC and GLO-USDT pools before the funds were repaid and profits secured. The incident highlights ongoing risks around weak anti-sybil protections and flawed incentive designs in DeFi reward systems.
