The attack has been mitigated, and all unauthorized access has been disabled. The attacker removed 324,000 STX from the protocol, and this loss will be compensated from the Zest Protocol's treasury, ensuring full reimbursement of user assets. Attack method (per SlowMist): Price Manipulation. Reported loss: $ 1,000,000.
