Cronos blockchain restarts after $74 million Tectonic exploit

An attacker exploited a price-manipulation vulnerability on the Tectonic cryptocurrency lending platform to borrow $74 million in assets. The Cronos blockchain network halted trading activity in response and has since resumed normal operations.

Why it matters: Cryptocurrency exchange and lending platform operators must audit their price oracle and collateral mechanisms to prevent similar flash loan or price manipulation attacks that can drain millions in user funds.
