Vulnerability alert for two popular altcoins
DeFi protocols Aave and Yearn Finance were hit by a vulnerability this morning, according to a tweet by PeckShield, a blockchain security firm that provides security audits, testing and vulnerability assessments for blockchain projects.

“The current size of V1 is $18 million and the current size of the Aave security module is $382.50 million,” Zeller said. Zeller also noted that versions 2 and 3 of Aave are currently unaffected.
