Pennysia contract hacked: the attacker stole funds using an approval you granted long agoOn November 13, SlowMist issued a security alert: the Ethereum settlement contract for a project called Pennysia had been exploited. A vulnerability allowing arbitrary external calls in the contract code let the attacker bypass the normal process and directly transfer out tokens that users had previously approved for the contract but had not yet used. SlowMist began investigating after receiving several reports from users who had lost funds. The total amount lost has yet to be determined, and Pennysia has not presented a compensation plan. So this isn’t a postmortem—it’s a warning about the approval that may still be sitting in your wallet.

Pennysia contract hacked: the attacker stole funds using an approval you granted long ago

On November 13, SlowMist issued a security alert: the Ethereum settlement contract for a project called Pennysia had been exploited. A vulnerability allowing arbitrary external calls in the contract code let the attacker bypass the normal process and directly transfer out tokens that users had previously approved for the contract but had not yet used.
SlowMist began investigating after receiving several reports from users who had lost funds. The total amount lost has yet to be determined, and Pennysia has not presented a compensation plan. So this isn’t a postmortem—it’s a warning about the approval that may still be sitting in your wallet.
Pennysia settlement contract exploited: revoke any existing approvals; this was not an exchange hack At around 14:57 this afternoon (Hong Kong time), SlowMist issued an alert: After receiving reports of users’ funds being stolen, its investigation found that Pennysia, a decentralized trading aggregator, had suffered an exploit involving an “arbitrary external call” vulnerability in its Settlement contract on Ethereum. The attacker could use token allowances that users had previously granted to the contract and had not yet revoked. Wu Blockchain and Deep Tide subsequently relayed the news, noting that the specific loss amount had not yet been disclosed. At the time of writing, no official statement had been seen from the project. Who is affected: Only people who had previously approved tokens for this settlement contract—not all wallets, not an exchange hack, and not a site-wide suspension of deposits and withdrawals. The contract address is 0x3aad97e5a91b8e43b7dc830aceb004307678795e. SlowMist recommends that anyone who granted an approval revoke it immediately through the approval management feature in their usual wallet. Don’t click unfamiliar links claiming to “help you revoke” approvals, and don’t give your seed phrase or private key to anyone claiming to be an official representative. Next, we need to confirm whether the project will issue an official response and the scale of the losses. Have you ever approved this settlement contract? This is not investment advice.
