anchored·3kx2rh…vfWVSummary
Truflation is a blockchain-based inflation data oracle protocol that provides real-time economic indices to DeFi applications via its Truflation Stream Network (TSN) and TRUF token. In September 2024, the project suffered a confirmed malware attack that compromised private keys across its treasury multisig and personal wallets, resulting in losses estimated between $4.6 million and $5.2 million — predominantly in TRUF tokens, ETH, and DAI. On-chain investigator ZachXBT was among the first to publicly identify and report the incident; the project subsequently initiated a full TRUF token migration as a remediation measure.
