Recently-launched NFT and DeFi protocol Dego Finance got hacked on February 10, which caused considerable FUD among its users. Specifically, the team disclosed that their addresses providing liquidity on DEXs Uniswap and PancakeSwap were compromised, enabling hackers to siphon $10 million.
As an early measure, Dego Finance reached out to centralized exchanges such as Binance, KuCoin, and Gate.io so that they will disable any deposits from the hacked addresses.
The hack caused its native token DEGO to dip by 20% momentarily to $3.47. Investors were quick to capitalize on the situation and bought the token, leading to a 15% recovery back to $4.
Dego Finance urged the hacker to return the funds, given that the address has now been disabled from transferring the assets to exchanges.
