Blockchain security firm Webacy revealed that its system had identified a vulnerability in Balancer two weeks before a hack that led to over $128 million in losses. The company clarified that the vulnerability was not intentionally withheld, as its automated scans detect numerous issues daily, and the flaw was only recognized in historical data post-exploit. Following criticism from figures like Laurence of Wildcat Labs and researcher ZachXBT, Webacy stressed that its intention was to underscore the importance of preventive tools and the detectability of such vulnerabilities, rather than to assign blame.
