First it was pancakeswap, venus, bunnyswap, now it is burgerswap and juld. What's going on?I know blockchains are vulnerable and all. But I noticed that the Binnace Smart Chain has been under severe attacks recently. Is it because of low number of validators leading faster transactions or what?

I think there are not too many BSC users, so the transaction speed is still very high compared to Ethereum. In principle, BSC and Ethereum use the same system, Ethereum wallet users can receive BSC. Attacks that occur against BSC exploit weak system design and code bugs using flash loans.

This is what you got when the entire community just throwing money at every swap platform released, an unsecure code that could make people loss money. Making code for defi isn't a joke and anything should be reviewed and audited thoroughly and I read the news that there's indication of changing vital code that leads to this attack basically reopining a vulnerability that shouldn't be a problem.
As we speak, another BSC AMM just got hacked. BurgerSwap or something like that. Not nice at all. Scaring investors
and there's many other swaps service that are just waiting to be attacked since most of them forking from each other.
I just went through many BSC Swap platforms and they are almost basically forks of Pancakeswap, both new and old services. Hackers would find it easier than taking candy from a baby

Binance smart chain is out of it wherein it's not their problem anymore. The developer or should i say the team behind of that project is the one that need to blame on that issue mate, because if they hired a professional team perhaps it will not happen, but unfortunately it happened already, for this reason people will not trust them anymore because of being lack of awareness when it comes to such issues.. Its very common here actually but those who make project still didn't take this seriously just to prevent hacking.. probably its enough for them after filling their pockets such leaving when there's an issue occurred..

Either it's BSC or Ethereum hackers will get the job done, the problem is from new crypto developers on the block who knew too little about running a blockchain project, instead of them to hire qualified personnel they took the whole thing into their hands

Yes, listen hackers are rich people. They stole 100 M$ once and sat down to burn money. It's good that no attacks. So the scammers are full ... And if they are full, then our users are less stressed. Who knows when they'll attack again, though. Better not to think about the bad.

The hasty development of projects on BSC leads to security holes. Hackers rely on vulnerabilities to profit. This situation occurs not only in projects on BSC, but in the past, projects on Ethereum have also encountered these problems. DEFI projects on Ethereum have lost all funds in the liquidity pool due to errors in the source code such as BRZX, SoftLink...

Everyone can save their money if they invest in such projects that have passed the audit. If the platform is not audited, this should be a red flag when making investment decisions. For myself, I have determined that one of the best companies among those who provide audit services is Certik.

As if ethereum ain't a victim to hacks when defi was a big thing in 2020, you guys need to check history first befor coming up with this claim, BSC is new and it solves High gas fee so many new projects are using BSC so tell me why won't hackers target new projects running on BSC? Is BSC to be blame for this? That's a joke because if those projects are running on ETH the hacks will still happens anyway

I think you got the wrong notion about what happened recently, the problem is not the BSC Network just like what happens in some Ethereum Network DeX/Defi platforms in the previous months, the platform has a hole that exploited by those hackers through (flash loans) and it is not surprising because those codes are made by humans that's why it's not perfect and without a repeated thorough audit those vulnerabilities won't be discovered its more on the technical aspect that's why we as ordinary users has nothing to do with them.

basically bsc is just a platform that serves every project running on it, as for the hack that happened not because the bsc has a few validators, but how every project in the BSC secures their own products.

Binance Smart Chain is still working at full network capacity. The problem is that these projects built on binance smart chain network have vulnerability problems that get exploited by attackers and hackers. The big problem nowis the existing flash loan attack that has been a pain for protocols and Defi projects built on BSC. It also appears lik affected projects teams don't knowhow to mitigate after such attacks or prepare against such attacks. Binance smart chain is booming and it's not surprising to see these projects getting attacked it's though attacks like this that the network would grow stronger by leveraging on past mistakes and errors.

It's because BSC is a cheap chineese copy of ETH.
They couldn't copy most of the security protocols so they just left them out, leading to what you see here

HUGE understatement.

Although Binance Smart Chain (BSC) boost of low gas fees, but it looks like the network or rather most of the projects are yet to boost of improved security. Also, since the BSC network is still upcoming unlike that of Ethereum, I believe with more work and more improvements they will stand firm; what those project team ought to do now is to leverage on their weaknesses and improve on their platforms in order to prevent any sort of attacks again. Moreover, I noticed most of these attacks are flashloans, that is to say, those hackers are seeing loopholes in those projects which they are leveraging on to attack them, therefore let those projects team work hard and look for more better ways to protect themselves.
Lastly, investors needs to be careful of most of these BSC projects because the team can steal and then claim they are being attacked thus using that opportunity to abandon the project. But however, if one look at most of the platforms which were attacked, the team are still working and looking for more ways to continue developing without giving up, that to an extent shows a dedicated team.

As we speak, another BSC AMM just got hacked. BurgerSwap or something like that. Not nice at all. Scaring investors
Now there are lots of swap exchanges that can be used by everyone, but in this case I will only use those that have been proven safe and comfortable for the BSC network, because the swap model exchanges are now very easy to hack by genius hackers.

And sometimes, we don't know if the hack is real or just inside job. I have the feeling that some of these defi hacks are inside job, especially for those who are about to exit the game or don't want to disburse their yield farmers. But of course, we will not know if some of them are inside job. Just be open to possibilities and secure your assets.
That's a possible scenario since we all know there's a lot of hackers in this market so its very suspicious if the project didn't properly audit their codes and use a high security to protect their project, but again it happened already and I don't think its about BSC network, its more on the side of the project team that is being hacked, they should know this in the first place or maybe its an inside job.

Another defi got hacked again through flash loan. It seems like the hackers were targetting the defi platform that didn't aware if they were using the vulnerable code. The developers of these platform didn't even audit its code again. They were only forking from another platform and that's why they didn't realize there's a vulnerability on their flash loan feature lol
Yeah. The name of the DeFi platform is Belt Finance. That is careless of them. But I thought they routinely audit with projects like Certik or NoToRugs?

As time goes by, technology is increasing and there are so many people who think in their own interest to create malware, they take advantage of the shortcomings of a system for their own benefit. which must be considered is always careful and thorough.
