After reports of hacking, users criticized the security level of Serenity Shield. In addition, one of the community members noted that if we talk about the incident in the project chat, the user will be muted.
Another user wondered how hackers managed to steal 7 million tokens if only 2 million SERSH were in circulation.
A day earlier, a crypto expert ZachXBT pointed out a possible hack of the BitForex exchange. According to ZachXBT, $56.5 million in crypto assets was withdrawn from the platform’s hot wallets, mainly in Tellor (TRB) tokens.
