Eminence, an incomplete unaudited DeFi project by Andre Cronje, was exploited less than 3 hours after launch. The attacker borrowed 15M DAI from Uniswap, bought EMN, burned half for eAAVE to artificially inflate the price, then withdrew from the bonding curve at the manipulated price, draining the protocol.
