PeckShield said the attacker had withdrawn over 4.3 billion Shido tokens — nearly half of the almost 9 billion circulating token supply, per CoinGecko data.


Before the price drop, those tokens were worth around $35 million.


X user “Wazz" said the exploiter funded the attack using multiple bridges but couldn"t further track the pilfered funds, warning others not to buy as the attacker still had Shido tokens.$2.4M ETH and $1.2M $SHIDO tokens stolen

Wouldn't advise "buying the dip" cuz the exploiter still owns $SHIDO tokens
