It is reported that Venus Protocol, the mainstream lending platform on the BNB chain, has recovered stolen assets. Previously, the agreement stole $27 million in late August 2025 through a malicious contract update against its Core Pool Comptroller. While initially the funds remained in the attacker’s contract, some recovery efforts are underway and the Venus community has not issued an official statement on the scope of recovery or preventive measures.
