Reaper Farm Hack
What happened
The Reaper Farm protocol was hacked due to the lack of validation checks, as a result of which user funds were withdrawn to the attacker's account.
Reaper is an auto-compounding yield farm that maximizes users' yields by leveraging the power of compound interest.
The Reaper Farm protocol had a lack of validation check, which the attacker took advantage of, stealing $1.7M.
The attacker created a smart contract (https://ftmscan.com/tx/0xe7635f32…bdc607 ) which was used to withdraw funds from the protocol to the attacker address (B).
Example transactions:

Then all stolen tokens were bridged from FTM to ETH.
Example transactions:
Then all funds were laundered via Tornado.Cash.
Attacker addresses:
(FTM) scammer address(A): https://ftmscan.com/address/0x5636e55e…bb527a
(FTM) scammer address(B): https://ftmscan.com/address/0x2c177d20…9ca954
(ETH) scammer address(B): https://etherscan.io/address/0x2c177d20…9ca954
Attacker's contract address: https://ftmscan.com/address/0x8162a5e1…4d0145
