Rhea Finance Says Exploit Losses Reached $18.4 Million

The claim has partial but meaningful support. The initial $7.6 million estimate is supported by the fetched PANews report "安全机构：Rhea Finance遭假代币合约攻击，约760万美元资金被盗 | PANews". The later revision to $18.4 million is strongly suggested by the traced upstream source URL and title, "Rhea Finance post-mortem: Exploit losses $18.4 million, double initial estimates", which Odaily newsflash 477292 points to via media_trace. The fetched PANews follow-up, "Rhea Finance发布安全事件初步分析，并称正积极追回资金 | PANews", also confirms that Rhea Finance published a post-attack update and was pursuing fund recovery. However, because direct fetches of the The Block article and X posts failed in this run, the exact later figures, especially the approximately $11.2 million recovered or frozen amount, could not be fully validated from fetched primary text. So the statement is best assessed as likely true, but not at high confidence.
