MEV bot Yoink outmaneuvered an attacker attempting to exploit a custom Safe module, securing stolen rsETH before Kelp protocol administrators intervened to freeze the malicious address.
rsETH was the target of the exploit, and Kelp froze the receiving address, indicating a security incident that could undermine confidence in the token.
ETH is the native asset of Ethereum, involved in the exploit and MEV bot front-running, but the event is isolated to a specific wallet and protocol, not a systemic risk.
An MEV bot identified as Yoink successfully front-ran an attacker targeting a custom Safe module on the Kelp protocol. The incident resulted in the recovery of rsETH assets, prompting Kelp developers to temporarily freeze the compromised receiving address to mitigate further risk.
An attacker attempted to exploit a custom Safe module, but an MEV bot named Yoink front-ran the transaction to capture the assets first. Kelp subsequently froze the receiving address to prevent further movement of funds.
