BEARISH 📉 : Exploit drains 909 ETH from deprecated Aztec Connect RollupProcessorV3 contract

Exploit drains about 909 ETH (~$2.1M) from a legacy Aztec Connect contract. The hit did not involve Aztec’s current network (Aztec Network on X).

Aztec Connect was shut down in March 2023. The affected contract is the immutable RollupProcessorV3 (Aztec Network on X).

Key points:
- Funds taken: ~909 ETH, about $2.1M (Aztec Network on X)
- Date of exploit: June 14 (Aztec Network on X)
- Product status: deprecated since March 2023; separate from today’s Aztec network (Aztec Network on X)
- Contract traits: immutable RollupProcessorV3; no admin keys to pause or recover (Aztec Network on X)

Why it matters. Deprecated DeFi contracts can still hold assets and remain attack surfaces long after shutdowns. “Off” front ends don’t remove on-chain risk (Aztec Network on X).

What to monitor. Further confirmations and post-mortems from primary channels, and any follow-up disclosures from Aztec (Aztec Network on X).
