Foom.Cash security protocol, built on Ethereum, was recently exploited due to a cryptographic verification vulnerability, causing estimated damages of $2.26 million. The attack affected contracts on both Ethereum and Base, resulting in the loss of over 24.28 trillion FOOM tokens. A transaction on Base caused a loss of approximately $427,000, while transactions on Ethereum worth $1.83 million are believed to be “white-hat” efforts to recover assets.
According to GoPlus Security, misconfigured verification keys allowed attackers to impersonate zkSNARK proofs. Certik and BlockSec described this as a “copycat” attack similar to the previous Veil Cash incident. Although promoted as an upgrade of Tornado Cash, Foom.Cash has not issued an official response or remediation plan.
