Stackr Labs CEO Kautuk Kundan claimed on X that they hacked Atari’s crypto arcade game that was supposedly built on the layer-2 network Base to prove it was not onchain. The developer said he and his team sabotaged the game’s leaderboard without playing it.

Despite this, the amount was refunded, and the team behind Ronin said they would reward the hacker with a $500,000 bounty. The team also said they would patch the vulnerability before reopening the bridge.
