Munchables Game on Ethereum Layer 2 Blast Loses $62 Million in Exploit, but All User Funds Are Safe
Munchables, a game on the recently launched Ethereum Layer 2 Blast, lost $62 million in an exploit but the team has confirmed that all user funds are safe. The exploit was carried out by an insider who worked on the game, but the developer has since returned all funds without any ransom required. The Munchables team has moved the $62 million from the exploiter wallet into a multi-signature wallet and is warning users of fake accounts asking for eligibility to reclaim funds. Blast, the Layer-2 scaling solution, has experienced rapid growth and is gearing up for a $1.3 billion airdrop in May.
Super Sushi Samurai: Attack resolved, SSS v2 pool will return to pre-hack funds
The Blast ecosystem project Super Sushi Samurai posted on X platform that the previous hacker attack has been dealt with. They have decided to reward white-hat hackers with 5% ETH reward (provided by the SSS team themselves), and the remaining funds will be transferred to a multi-signature address controlled by the SSS team. After analysis, it was found that there was a bug in the token contract that would double the balance if transferred to oneself. The funds are safe and will be airdropped v2 SSS based on a snapshot. The SSS v2 pool will be restored to the pre-hack fund level of 1339.50 ETH, with the snapshot block before the attack being 1111438. The reference token price is SSS = 0.00000004261 USD, and ETH is 3400 USD. Players will receive SSS based on their SSS holdings, and those who have purchased DIP will receive SSS v2 based on the reference price.
