Incident Overview
The attackers reportedly compromised the accounts of several WLFI co-founders, paying influencers to spread FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) and heavily shorting $WLFI in an attempt to profit from artificially created market chaos. WLFI stated that the operation failed. Thanks to USD1’s robust minting and redemption mechanisms and its 100% 1:1 asset backing, USD1 remains stable and is currently trading near its par value. The team emphasized that no bad actors can shake their long-term commitment to USD1. Meanwhile, WLFI reminded users to obtain accurate information only through officially verified channels and to be wary of misleading content.
