According to the researchers, the attackers removed the assets stored on the platform, converted them into ETH and sent them to another address.

According to Cyvers Alert, the hack became possible due to the loss of access to the wallet. The attack affected the Ethereum and BNB Chain networks.

Root cause seems to be loss of wallet access control.
Address already swapped $USDT, $APE, $SHIB to $ETH. Some of the digital assets are bridged from $BNB to $ETH.
