Users of Uniswap (UNI), the largest decentralized exchange (DEX) operating on the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain, have fallen victim to a sophisticated phishing attack, reportedly losing over USD 8.1m worth of assets. Meanwhile, Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) falsely alarmed about the incident, claiming that the protocol itself was exploited.
The phishing attack attempted to rob users of their assets under the false impression of a UNI airdrop, according to Metamask security analyst Harry Denley. He claimed that at least 73,399 addresses have been sent a malicious token to target their assets.
