It has been a very unpleasant few hours for Binance Smart Chain. Well, it happens that today they announced that they had suffered a hack.
Where millions of dollars have been stolen. "The Uranium migration has been exploited, the following address has 50 million",
is what the decentralized finance project (DeFi) revealed on Twitter today.
Uranium encouraged users through a post on the twitter social network to begin tweeting the address to which the stolen funds had been
sent to Binance. This is in an attempt to report the thefts and stop the transfers so that the number of victims of these criminals does
not continue to rise. The company also mentioned that all those affected communicate with them privately to take action on the matter.
It is presumed that the hack entered the network by updating its protocol to V2.1. An update, in which the only significant change
is the correction of a bug that was latent in version V2. This allowed anyone to enter peer contracts and withdraw tokens.
With an estimated theft around 50 million dollars, in turn it will not be an easy task for the hack to withdraw that amount from your
wallet to other addresses for the possession of funds. Hopefully all this is resolved, and that the company takes better security measures on the matter, since it is being seen very frequently.
