> Cosmos Labs said an accounting vulnerability in Cosmos EVM was exploited across six networks, including MANTRA, TAC and KiiChain, with attackers converting about $5.72 million through decentralized and centralized exchanges. The flaw was reported in April, but engineers initially believed only six-decimal networks were affected. MANTRA disclosed an estimated $3.6 million loss.
