Ionic Protocol on Mode L2 suffered an $8.8M exploit

Hackers used fake LBTC (Lombard BTC) as collateral for lending on Ionic. Ionic Protocol is a DeFi platform that allows users to lend, borrow, and earn interest. ZachXBT linked Ionic to the twice-hacked Midas protocol, noting it reused Midas’s outdated 2022 audit.
