The funds’ path reportedly extended from the vault to the attacker’s smart contract, then to the attacker’s wallet, and finally to the conversion of aTokens to wstETH.

While the initial transaction involved only a 1 aBaswstETH transfer, five subsequent separate outflows reportedly resulted in a total loss of approximately 1,783 wstETH, or about $6 million at current prices.

Blockchain security company PeckShield also reported that the address 0x0B5126…B034 drained approximately 1,783 wstETH on the Base network. While this address has been flagged as a suspected attacker wallet, the name of the targeted protocol and the exact attack method used have not yet been publicly disclosed.
