Blockchain security firm PeckShield alerted to the drop in a Feb. 29 X post. In a follow-up post, it explained an exploiter managed to transfer the blockchain’s Ethereum staking contract to another address with the new owner then upgrading the contract with a hidden function to withdraw staked tokens.Hi @ShidoGlobal There is a sudden owner transfer to 0x1982. The new owner immediately upgrades the StakingV4Proxy contract with a hidden withdrawToken() function. This hidden function is then called to withdraw all 4,353,473,223.864904 $SHIDO.

PeckShield said the attacker had withdrawn over 4.3 billion Shido tokens — nearly half of the almost 9 billion circulating token supply, per CoinGecko data.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