Vulnerable smart contracts create lucrative arbitrage opportunities for hackers who can borrow copious amounts of money without collateral with the help of flash loans. All flash loan is done in a single transaction. The high complexity of such loans makes them an attractive tool for bad actors.
Last October, $136 million of the troubled DeFi protocol was drained. The attacker managed to borrow nearly half a million ETH tokens to successfully rob Cream Finance. Last February, a hacker managed to steal $37.5 million in a similar flash loan attack with Cream Finance.
