Ampleforth hit by governance proposal attack as 2.5 million USDC transfer request remains pending
A security alert from the GoPlus Chinese community said an attack proposal was submitted to Ampleforth on Sept. 12 by a newly activated externally owned account, or EOA. The proposal asked for 2.5 million USDC from the protocol treasury, describing the payment as compensation for completed work on the SPOT ecosystem analytics tool. According to the alert, that amount accounts for nearly all of the treasury’s liquid funds. As of publication, the proposal was still in pending status, no votes had been cast, and no funds had moved. GoPlus said the proposal threshold is 75,000 FORTH and the passage threshold is 600,000 FORTH. Based on a FORTH price of $0.27 at the time of the warning, roughly $160,000 would be enough to assemble the votes needed for approval. The proposer or recipient address currently holds about 87,200 FORTH voting power, while a delegating address held about the same amount and delegated that voting power to the proposer 19 minutes before the proposal was submitted.
