While 5.4 trillion vsdCRV were unauthorizedly issued by a hacker after the private key of the deployer of the cryptocurrency liquidity staking platform StakeDAO (SDT) was leaked, Cointelegraph reported that the amount the hacker cashed out amounted to only $91,000. This was due to the severe lack of liquidity pools to absorb the sell orders. It was revealed that this incident stemmed not from a flaw in the smart contract itself, but from a lack of operational security. A single 'deployer private key' being compromised led to 5.4 trillion tokens being unauthorizedly issued in just 25 seconds.
