Behind The Scenes Of The BadgerDAO Hack
The BadgerDAO hack was one of the most unique exploits in what would be a string of DeFi hacks that have taken place in 2021 and 2022. Over $120 Million of user funds were siphoned out of the DAO due to compromised API keys and a malicious exploit into the Cloudflare infrastructure, an application platform that ran on Badger’s cloud network.
In this episode of Public Key, our host, Ian Andrew (CMO at Chainalysis) along with his colleague, Beth Bisbee (Head of US Investigations) dive deep into the nuances of the hack and identify how the exploit took place, how blockchain investigations tools like Reactor play a crucial part in the tracing of the stolen funds and how hacks like this may be avoided in the future. This is an important episode for those that are transitioning into web3 with reliance on web2 applications and technology.

Last month, German authorities with assistance from US law enforcement shut down Hydra Market, which was the world’s largest darknet market by transaction volume despite serving only Russian-speaking countries. Soon after, Hydra was sanctioned by the U.S. government as well.
