“The attacker has sold all the tokens. There's no further user action suggested.”Roll added that it had launched a $500k fund to “help creators and their communities" suffering from the incident. The attacker stole 11 different social tokens, including $WHALE, $RARE, and $PICA. The stolen funds were then transferred to Tornado Cash, a privacy tool often employed by hackers to launder stolen funds. The hacker then traded the tokens for Ethereum on the Uniswap exchange. Markets for the tokens stolen within the breach began to dump within hours of the attack, quickly accumulating losses of over 90%. A number of the worst-hit along with $PICA, $WHALE, and $FWB, who plummetted 99.6%, 99.3%, and 92.35% respectively.

Yikes.”
