Losses tied to a vault exploit in the Base ecosystem have risen to about $6 million, according to blockchain security firm PeckShield, which said the amount is roughly equal to 1,783 wstETH. The update follows an earlier alert cited by Foresight News from Blockaid, which said it had detected an ongoing attack against an unnamed vault on Base. Blockaid said a new contract had been added to the vault’s whitelist, after which the attacker borrowed aBaswstETH from the vault and sent the resulting aTokens to the contract. At the earlier stage of the incident, about $2.02 million had already been drained from the vault across roughly four transactions. The latest figure from PeckShield indicates the losses have since expanded materially. No additional details on the identity of the vault were provided in the source material.

In an earlier update cited by Foresight News, Blockaid said it had detected an attack in progress against an unnamed vault on Base. A new contract was added to the vault’s whitelist. The attacker then borrowed aBaswstETH from the vault and sent the aTokens to that contract.
At that stage, about $2.02 million had already been drained from the vault across roughly four transactions.
