Description of the event: The multi-chain DeFi protocol FEG was attacked again, and the flash loan attack suffered on the BNB chain lost about $1.3 million in assets. The subsequent flash loan attack on Ethereum caused a loss of about $590,000, with a total loss of about $1.9 million in assets. This attack is similar to yesterday's attack and is caused by a vulnerability in the "swapToSwap()" function. This function directly uses the "path" entered by the user as a trusted party without screening and validating the incoming parameters. Additionally, the function will allow an unverified "path" parameter (address) to use the current contract's assets. Therefore, by calling "depositInternal()" and "swapToSwap()", the attacker can obtain permission to use the assets of the current contract, thereby stealing the assets within the contract.

However, their trading prices have been severely de-pegged. Among them, FUSD fell to $0.69, and DEI fell to a low of $0.52. Whale players took advantage of this situation to deposit large amounts of FUSD and DEI at a discount, and siphoned all other stablecoins from the Scream platform. Stablecoins such as Fantom USDT, FRAX, DAI, MIM, and USDC have all been withdrawn from the platform. As a result, users who originally had deposits in these stablecoins would not be able to withdraw from Scream.
