The Decentralized Stock Exchange (DEX) kiloex said that it would compensate merchants and stakers injured by an exploit of $ 7.5 million which temporarily closed the platform earlier in April.
In an announcement of April 24, Kiloex said that traders who had open positions while the platform was suspended would receive complete compensation if their losses increased or if their profits decreased. The platform said it would pay the difference.
Kiloex has urged traders to close their positions immediately once the platform resumes operations, because the delay could affect their profits and losses, which can then have an impact on the amount of remuneration.
“Please close your position as soon as possible after resumption of the platform. Compensation will be calculated according to the curriculum vitae time of the platform,” said kilox.
The principal and stakers’ gains do not remain affected
For the hybrid stakers of the platform, Kiloex said that the stolen funds had been completely reinjected in the safe. Consequently, revenues and capital Staker will remain unassigned. However, Kiloex has said that he would still provide an additional 10% (APY) an additional time for eligible permits.
The APY bonus will be awarded to users who had funds in the safe before resumption of the platform.
On April 15, Kiloex offered a 10% bonus at the pirate which stole the funds of the platform. The DEX said that the pirate could keep $ 750,000 as a white hat bonus if he decided to return 90% of the stolen funds. The platform threatened to expose the identity of the pirate and take legal action if they did not comply.
Shortly after, the security platforms reported transactions indicating that the pirate kiloex returned the stolen funds. On April 18, the DEX declared that it would withdraw all legal proceedings against the pirate and rewards them with a 10% bonus of the white hat.

Kiloex hacker has exploited an Oracle Price vulnerability
On April 14, Kiloex suspended its platform after having contained the feat which led to losses of $ 7.5 million. The security company Peckshield said that the attacker probably exploited an oracle price vulnerability that allowed them to inflate the prices to earn more profits than they should have.
In a post-mortem published per kiloex, the platform confirmed that the attacker has operated a function without authorization. The DEX said that the attacker had designed a request that only the authorized entities should have made.
Using this, the attacker opened a position at a “artificially low price”. This was followed by the closure of the position at a higher price, offering illegitimate profit to the attacker.
