GoPlus says no evidence Venus Protocol contract was exploited in $2M theft

Web3 security project GoPlus has walked back an earlier claim that Venus Protocol, a decentralized lending platform on BNB Chain, may have been the target of a $2 million exploit. In an update posted on X, GoPlus clarified that although the stolen assets included a significant amount of vTokens such as vUSDT, there is no current evidence linking the affected contract to Venus Protocol. The original post alleging the attack has been removed, and GoPlus said a detailed analysis report will be published soon. The initial claim had suggested that the incident could be related to maximal extractable value (MEV) exploitation and permission management vulnerabilities.
