“Treasure marketplace is being exploited. Please delist your items. We will cover the costs of the exploit — I will personally give up all of my Smols to repair this.”

What is known about the results of the hacking attack? The exact information on how many collectible tokens were stolen by the hackers is not yet available. Twitter users conducted their own investigation, which led to the discovery of a wallet with suspicious transactions.
