Marinade says it blocked attempted DAO takeover, with no loss of funds

Solana-based liquid staking protocol Marinade Finance said an attacker attempted to seize control of its DAO on Sept. 25 by exploiting a bug in the voting program, but the council rejected the two related proposals. No funds were moved and no losses occurred, while mSOL, native staking and SAM, Marinade’s stake auction marketplace where its total TVL is distributed, were unaffected. Marinade said it has applied measures to prevent further exploitation of the bug and plans to introduce additional security safeguards.
