An exploit on November 3, 2025, targeted Balancer’s V2 Composable Stable Pools, leading to over $100 million in losses. These older pools were outside of Balancer’s pause window, a feature designed to halt operations in emergencies, allowing the exploit to proceed unhindered.
In response, Balancer has worked swiftly with security researchers to understand the breach and has begun recovery operations for the affected pools. They emphasized their commitment to security through audits and a bug bounty program. However, malicious actors are exploiting the situation by sending fraudulent communications to users, prompting Balancer to caution against phishing attempts. Users are urged to rely only on official channels for updates while the investigation continues, revealing the importance of operational security in the DeFi space.
