This report analyzes two March 2024 DeFi attacks: a SSS Token logic bug that allowed arbitrary balance inflation and a larger Munchables proxy/implementation compromise that enabled an attacker (attributed to North Korean actors) to invoke an `unlock` function and drain ~17,413.96 ETH plus other assets; the attacker abused implementation upgrades and delegatecall-based storage manipulation to plant a backdoor, attempted cross-chain transfers, and ultimately returned funds after community intervention.
