WonderHero play-to-earn game exploited, WND token plummets
At 7 a.m. UST, today, April 7, 2022, is the last day of the year. The contract of WonderHero mobile play-to-earn game moved 80 million WND, almost $30 million, in a massive transaction. The vendor that noticed this was PeckShield.
The team of the game immediately shut down the website and restricted operations with in-game cash. The supporters were asked to avoid WND trading until further notice.
The private key of Wonderhero’s core wallet appears to have been compromised, but the investigation is still under way. The price of WND dropped to an all-time low immediately.
The attackers were able to exchange the stolen tokens for over 70 Binance Coins in order to transfer them to PancakeSwap.
