Information on the Binance blog
What does the head of Sky Mavis say? Sky Mavis CEO Trung Nguyen stated that the company intends to reimburse all funds, as well as implement strict internal security measures to prevent future attacks.
What had happened before? In late March, a hacker attacked the Ronin Network sidechain used by Axie Infinity. With the exploit, the attacker withdrew more than $625 million in cryptocurrency (173 600 ETH and 25,5 million USDC). Following the hack, the Ronin team disabled the cross-chain bridge and the Katana non-custodial exchange. Sky Mavis promised users to reimburse all the funds that the hacker stole.
