On April 17, Ethereum-based decentralized stablecoin protocol Beanstalk was exploited and lost $182 M as a result.

Hackers used a flash loan to do the exploit. According to PeckShield, 15,154 Ethers still stay in the hacker's account. The address donates 250,000 USDC stablecoins to Ukraine Crypto Donation.
The latest update says that Beanstalk's loss is around $182 M and the hacker nets $80 M. The rest of the funds, $100 M, go to different protocols as fees to pay flash loans and swap.
The @BeanstalkFarms protocol loss is ~$182m and the hacker nets $80m. The rest $100m goes to various protocols as fees to pay flashloan and swap. Should these protocols (incl. @AaveAave @SushiSwap @CurveFinance @Uniswap @BeanstalkFarms) return these fees back to @BeanstalkFarms?
