Fantom Foundation employee loses $ 7 million from exploit

  • Andre Cronje, director of the Fantom Foundation, reported that an employee has lost crypto worth $ 7 million through a phishing attack.
  • However, all funds of the Fantom Foundation were safe.
  • The FTM Prize fell according to the news.

An employee of the Fantom Foundation lost a phishing attack on his personal wallet crypto worth $ 7 million. The exploit had no effect on the funds of the users or the Fantom Foundation, said co -founder and architect Andre Cronje in a statement of the block .

earlier reports in which it was incorrectly pointed out that the exploit ended with the fact that the attacker had emptied the wallet of the Fantom Foundation led to a strong slump in native fantom (ftm) tokens. But while the Zero-Day Exploit supposedly aimed at the wallet of an employee, the FTM Prize had difficulty gaining dynamics.
