Yearn Finance Suffers Flash Loan Exploit, Is Aave Also Impacted?

PeckShield in a subsequent tweet revealed that the root cause is likely due to the misconfigured yUSDT, which is exploited to mint huge yUSDT (approx. 1,252,660,242,212,927.5) from just $10K USDT. The huge yUSDT is then cashed out by swapping to other stablecoins. However, it needs to be confirmed if Aave has any role in the hack.

Aave team confirmed that the Aave V1 protocol was used but is not impacted by the hack. Aave CEO Stani Kulechov took to Twitter to confirm this.
