According to the threat intelligence released by the SlowMist security team, its threat intelligence system MistEye has received community feedback regarding an active social engineering attack targeting cryptocurrency users.The attackers contact target users under the pretext of project collaboration, luring them to use a counterfeit "Harmony Voice" software (domain: harmony-voice[.]app) for so-called real-time translation, which is actually malware.

In response to the recent attack on the "ListaDAOLiquidStakingVault" contract, ListaDAO officially released a statement clarifying that the attacked contract was not deployed by the official team, but rather was a counterfeit contract created by an unverified third party using a similar name. All official contracts of ListaDAO were not affected by this incident.According to an in-depth analysis by the GoPlus security team, the attack occurred on April 16, 2026, and the root cause was a business logic flaw in the third-party contract. When a token transfer was made, it triggered the Dividend.setShares() function and altered the share accounting within the contract, which in turn affected the reward calculation in the claimReward() function. The attacker exploited this vulnerability to deplete the assets within the contract.GoPlus reminds that since this logical flaw exists in both segments of the contract code mentioned above, any development projects that fork or reuse this code face a high risk of being exploited. It is recommended that relevant developers promptly conduct code inspections and fixes, and implement continuous auditing mechanisms to ensure the security of smart contracts.
