Forta Seeks Backend Engineer for Blockchain Security Infrastructure

A sophisticated attacker exploited NGP protocol on BNB Chain, **draining $2 million** through a flash loan manipulation scheme. **Attack Method:** - Used flash loans to distort price feeds - Bypassed built-in buy limits - Successfully cashed out before detection **Detection Response:** Forta Firewall **flagged the attack instantly**, demonstrating real-time monitoring capabilities. This follows a pattern of similar price manipulation exploits on BSC, including a recent $158K drain targeting D3X_AI. **Key Takeaway:** While detection systems are improving, attackers continue finding ways to exploit DeFi protocols through **sophisticated price manipulation techniques**. The incident highlights the ongoing cat-and-mouse game between security systems and malicious actors in decentralized finance.
