While the exploit left the Venus Protocol with over $2 million in bad debt, it's not clear if the attacker even made money from the exploit. The exploiter's position was ultimately liquidated, collapsing the increase in THE price. However, it's possible the exploiter took advantage of the price discrepancy elsewhere to profit.
The Venus Protocol has had a number of issues in the past — notably in June 2023, when the team developing the BNB Chain had to intervene when the a thief borrowed $150 million on Venus against stolen tokens and then faced liquidation.
