> **Visual Context:** The image displays a table detailing a DeFi exploit on Aave, listing the eight affected pools (including syrupUSDC/USDC, cbETH/WETH, and WETH/USDC), the number of exploit rounds per pool, and estimated net extractions totaling $421,823, along with a cast of involved addresses and a transaction map showing the attacker's steps to manipulate the LUP via flash loans and poison quotes. This breakdown supports the post's claim that the $421k exploit relied on the attacker lending into their own collateralized positions to game the bucket-based pricing mechanism, resulting in minimal extraction but a fully drained protocol.

> "was actually $421k, the setup of the exploit required the hacker to flash loan into two loan positions so the liquidations are on their own capital.

tldr; no oracle, it priced based on the lending book. the price clears at whatever set of "buckets" covers ALL borrows, and there"
