According to on-chain analyst PeckShield (@PeckShieldAlert), the Monero (XMR) peer-to-peer decentralized exchange RetoSwap was exploited by hackers taking advantage of a vulnerability in the Haveno trading protocol, resulting in the theft of 7,000 XMR (approximately $2.7 million) in user funds. In response, the RetoSwap team acted swiftly, blocking the attacker's Tor address at 02:33 UTC and suspending platform trading by enforcing a mandatory upgrade to client version 2.0.0. The attack has since been contained.
