Incident Overview
According to the analysis of SlowMist, since the price difference between the two pools was not taken into account during the token exchange via CoverageRatio, it resulted in users being able to arbitrage by depositing USDC and then withdrawing more USDT. Arbitrageurs have arbitraged around 50,000 USDC in this way.
