Grand Theft on AirDAO: 35.2 million AMB Tokens and 125.51 ETH Stolen
The team took swift action, cooperating with the exchanges and relevant authorities, to catch the perpetrator and recover the stolen assets.
The identity of the hacker remains unclear, but AirDAO has made a bold offer in the hope of a quick solution.
In the statement made by the team, it was stated that if the hacker immediately returns the funds, a 10% white hat hacking fee will be charged. However, if there was no cooperation, the team confirmed their intention to involve law enforcement.
The perpetrator’s wallet address was announced as 0xFD1754f6Cb9DA53c6F26E3E2eE3DE875CC11C7AA. It turned out that the hacker gained access to the liquidity pool through a sophisticated social engineering scam using malicious attachments in an email that appeared to be from a trusted partner of AirDAO.
It is important to note that this incident only involves the liquidity pool and has no impact on users’ funds on the AirDAO blockchain or affiliated exchanges.
The AirDAO team said they will keep the community informed about the progress of their investigation as additional information emerges.
