Phishing Attack Updates + Lightning Vote (join the vote now!)
TLDR; A phishing attack on a user prompted a swift protocol pause to protect assets. We propose partial resumption for position adjustments and liquidation avoidance, plus force-liquidation of the attacker's wallet. Then, once security review is thoroughly completed, we will fully resume the protocol.
Voting plan:
1⃣[WITHIN 5 HOURS] Partial restoration of Venus Protocol (enabling repay debt/supply funds)
2⃣[WITHIN 7 HOURS] Recover stolen funds
3⃣[WITHIN 24 HOURS] Security review on Venus to prevent any replication of this attack on any other users.
4⃣Resume Venus fully - updates and timeline will be communicated via X
