On May 2024, GPU was exploited in a other, resulting in approximately $32K in losses. That makes the GPU exploit the 295th largest DeFi incident out of 690 documented in our archive.
Attack Mechanics: How the GPU Other Played Out
Exploit Class Applied to GPU
The GPU incident on May 8, 2024 is classified as a Other. A specific exploit class outside the most common buckets. In the full archive, GPU is 1 of 188 documented other incidents.
GPU in Context
At $32K, the GPU exploit is a minor (<$1M) event compared to the largest same-class incident in our archive — MIMSpell (2024) at $65M.
Prior Other Before GPU
The nearest other incident before GPU was OSN, 2 days earlier on May 6, 2024 ($109K lost). The same exploit class surfaced again within the other attack surface.
GPU Vulnerability Signature
The primary source categorises the GPU exploit specifically as “self transfer”. This narrower label is entity-specific: it reflects how the GPU contract failed, rather than the broad other pattern alone.
Impact & Recovery for GPU
GPU Loss Figure
The GPU exploit caused $32,000 in losses — a minor (<$1M) incident and the 83rd largest of 188 documented in 2024.
Where GPU Sits Among Other Attacks
Ranked by loss size, GPU is the 68th largest of 188 other incidents documented. That puts the GPU loss below the class average of $2.03M.
Timeline Since the GPU Incident
The GPU exploit occurred 1.9 years ago (706 days). The contract, its fork-block, and the attack transaction remain on-chain and forensically reproducible.
