Safemoon Network Exploited, $8.9 Million Lost

[Coinpedia Fintech News]

On March 28, Safemoon Network experienced an attack on its BNB liquidity pool, resulting in a loss of approximately $8.9 million. The attack exploited a faulty smart contract design that allowed any user to burn tokens from any address. The attacker siphoned SFM tokens from the Safemoon-WBNB liquidity pool, artificially raising the SFM price, and sold them into the same liquidity pool at an inflated rate, wiping out the remaining WBNB.
