The developers gave a brief explanation as to how the hack occurred. A malicious actor gained access to the team’s “deployer key” or the key originally used to deploy the protocol’s smart contracts. Since the contracts are upgradeable, this allowed the attacker to deploy an entirely new version of one of the contracts, which gave them the ability to mint an unlimited number of coins “without authorization checks.
In response, the team first transferred ownership of the contracts to a new, uncompromised account. This secured the contracts, preventing the attacker from doing any further damage. Ankr’s validators, RPC API, and App Chain services were not compromised, so transferring ownership of the contracts was the only action needed to restore security.
The blog post emphasized that the current versions of aBNBc and aBNBb will no longer be redeemable for BNB. A snapshot will be taken of the balances that users had before the exploit. New versions of these tokens will be issued, and token holders will be compensated with the new coins based on the balances they had before the exploit. For this reason, the team cautioned users not to trade aBNBc or aBNBb.
