How scoring works →Summary
Cozy Finance, a DeFi coverage/insurance protocol built on the Cozy V2 stack and deployed on Optimism, has suffered two confirmed exploits within roughly thirteen months: an alleged $427,000 loss in August 2025 tied to a missing caller-identity check in its withdrawal code, and an alleged $170,000 loss on September 7, 2026 whose root cause is disputed across secondary reporting. The recurrence of a fund-draining incident on the same chain, with no public post-mortem or protocol response identified for the second event as of this writing, indicates unresolved security and governance risk independent of which technical account of the second exploit is correct.
