On 2026-10-06 an attacker exploited a missing access control in a MakerDAO keeper contract to drain 200 ETH (~$542,982) from four unsettled legacy auction lots. The attacker deployed an adapter module, caused the keeper to grant Vat.hope delegation to that module, executed auction settlements that credited collateral to the keeper, used the delegation to transfer the 200 ETH out as WETH, and started laundering the proceeds through Tornado Cash within minutes.
