The hacker gained access to FriesDAO’s deployer wallet and transferred a huge sum of FRIES, the project’s governance tokens, into their own. Using their access to the deployer wallet, the culprit also siphoned additional tokens from a staking pool.
According to security company CertiK, the stolen tokens were sold for $2.3 million in stablecoins held at the hacker’s address.
The deployer wallet for FriesDAO was created with Profanity, a wallet-generator program known to have a major vulnerability.
Last month, security experts at 1inch discovered that malevolent hackers might compute the private keys of vanity addresses issued by Profanity to steal cash. Following 1inch’s publication, hackers used the vulnerability to steal $160 million in crypto assets from Wintermute.
