Blockchain security firm Peckshield discovered the attack
Cream Finance (CREAM), a project described as a decentralized DeFi lending protocol for individuals, was exploited using a flash loan. According to initial statements, the attack resulted in a loss of $18 million, but this was because the price of AMP dropped 15%. During the attack itself, around $25 million of AMP was stolen.The Chinese journalist Wu Blockchain reported that two attackers carried out the exploit with a total of 17 transactions and Cream finance confirmed the attack on their Twitter stating that they have stopped the exploit by pausing supply and borrow on AMP.
Blockchain security firm Peckshield was the first to discover the attack and alerted the DeFi Protocol about it. They said they found the cause of the attacks and asked Cream Finance to contact them for more details. Later the firm explained that the hacker was able to make a 500 Ethereum flash loan using an exploit found in the Ampleforth smart contract.
The second time that Cream Finance was exploited
The project was also exploited on February 13 and lost $37.5 million. The attacker managed to manipulate the liquidity in the original pool at Homora Bank and ended up borrowing large amounts of WETH, USDC, USDT and DAI from the Iron Bank. They repeated the process and flash loans until they captured over $37 million directly from the protocol.At the time of writing, CREAM is trading at $166.69, and it is possible that the price could fall even further as the news spreads. CREAM has lost about 5% in value in the last 24 hours which is likely caused by the attack.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
