On December 2, 2021, Badger suffered a security breach in which hackers stole approximately $120 million in Bitcoin and Ether. The stolen assets included over 2,100 Bitcoin and 151 Ether, with more than 900 Bitcoin originating from a single user account. This incident was reported as the third-largest cryptocurrency theft at that time. Following the breach, Badger froze its operations to facilitate investigation. Initial analyses suggested the attack exploited a vulnerability in the platform's user interface, though Badger did not officially confirm the method. The event underscored security challenges faced by DeFi platforms and temporarily disrupted user activities.
