- Reported loss
- 9,000,000 IMX
- Attack category
- Private Key Leakage
Incident Overview
The IMX was not sold immediately after the hackers stole the funds. So the official team decided to get a head start by dumping a lot of tokens on the market before the hackers did anything. The Impermax lending protocol is completely immune to this, as the attack is caused by stolen private keys, not a bug in the smart contract.
