The attacker attacked the Offer function – collectible coin offers. He made a malicious contract and stole nearly $100,000 worth of cryptocurrencies in various ERC-20 tokens.

The Quixotic team fixed the vulnerability but suspended all operations on the platform.

According to the statement, NFTs were unaffected by the exploit and remained secure. All stolen funds are automatically compensated to users, no action is required from them.

Recall that as a result of the actions of hackers and scammers in the first quarter of 2022, crypto projects lost more than $ 1.22 billion.

The biggest events were the Wormhole and Ronin exploits, with $319 million and $625 million in damage, respectively.

After the March hack, the Ronin sidechain included in the Axie Infinity game was only restarted by the developers at the end of June.
