The exploit shows how lightly held voting tokens can become a means of attack when control of a protocol is cheaper than the assets it governs.
- Term Finance lost an estimated $8.5 million after an attacker apparently gained enough governance voting power to take control of its Meta Vaults.
- The attacker removed about 2,843 ether and 1.68 million USDC, draining roughly 68 percent of the vaults’ assets, though Term said its broader lending markets were unaffected.
- Term permanently closed the vault product and removed the relevant governance permissions, while Yearn said the exploit involved Term’s custom governance layer rather than standard Yearn vaults.
