U.Today - Popular meme cryptocurrency BabyDoge suffered a major exploit resulting in a loss of approximately 442 Binance Coins (BNB), equivalent to $100,000. The incident was by crypto security firm PeckShield earlier today.
The transactions, per the details shared by PeckShield, reveal an intricate chain of transfers involving various key BSC players, including Venus, Binance, PancakeSwap and BabyDoge itself.
The total amount of BNB transferred totaled approximately 99,462.97 BNB, though the overall loss suffered by BabyDoge was pegged at a more modest 442 BNB, or $100,000.
It appears that the exploit involved a sequence of transactions that moved funds from the Venus token, vBNB, to the Binance Wrapped BNB token, or WBNB, and then onto PancakeSwap, one of the leading decentralized exchanges on the Binance Smart Chain. PancakeSwap's Router v2 was employed to interact with BabyDoge, ultimately resulting in the extraction of the aforementioned 442 BNB.
