On July 29, 2017, the Ethereum multi-signature wallet company Parity issued a security alert, notifying users of serious vulnerabilities in its wallet v1.5 or later. That day, a black hat hacker used the vulnerability to exhaust the Parity wallets of three Ethereum projects, stealing a total of 153,037 ETH from Swarm City, Edgeless, and Aeternity. The attacker sent two transactions to each of the affected contracts: the first to obtain exclusive ownership of the MultiSig, and the second to move all of its funds.
