anchored·4J5RBS…FFVhSummary
Jimbos Protocol was an Arbitrum-based DeFi liquidity protocol designed to provide a semi-stable floor price for its native JIMBO token. On May 28, 2023, just three days after launching its V2, the protocol was exploited via a flash loan attack that drained approximately 4,090 ETH (~$7.5 million) by exploiting a lack of slippage control in the JimboController contract. The attacker rejected a $800,000 bounty offer, laundered the full amount through Tornado Cash, and remains unidentified; no funds have been recovered.
