🚨 GNUS, the AI blockchain network, got a taste of its own medicine when a hacker minted 100 million fake GNUS tokens, causing a $1.27 million loss! 😱 The hacker used the Axelar bridge protocol to create a Fantom network version of the token, and then sold it into the Ethereum market. The GNUS team is now scrambling to release a new version of the token and has urged users to stop buying the old one. 💸
CEO "SuperGenius" revealed that the hacker accessed their private Discord messages. As a quick fix, the team will deposit $1 million worth of Ether and fees into a liquidity pool for the new token. 🚀
