Phalcon posted on X platform that GROK was attacked, resulting in a loss of about $56,000 (26 ETH). In the _transfer function of the GROK token contract, if the contract balance is greater than _taxSwapThreshold, the swapTokensForEth function can be triggered. By abusing this, attackers can harvest more GROK tokens through reverse exchanges. Finally, the attackers convert these #GROK tokens back to ETH.
