Build Finance DAO suffered a governance takeover when an attacker submitted a proposal to grant themselves minting and treasury controls. Low participation allowed the malicious proposal to pass unnoticed.

1 billion BUILD tokens, drained liquidity pools on Uniswap and Balancer, and stole 130,000 METRIC tokens from the treasury, ultimately extracting 160 ETH.
