tldr; Yearn Finance suffered a $9 million exploit due to an infinite mint attack targeting its StableSwap pool. The attacker exploited a math bug in the yETH smart contract to mint 235 trillion yETH tokens, draining $8 million from the pool and swapping $900,000 for wrapped Ethereum. The attack did not impact Yearn’s major yield markets, which hold over $410 million. This incident adds to the growing losses in the DeFi sector, with over $2.5 billion stolen in 2025. Similar exploits have affected other protocols like Wormhole and Harmony in the past.
