Intruders released a statement regarding a vulnerability in the Uniswap Router contract.
The social media account of cybersecurity firm CertiK on X (previously known as Twitter) fell victim to a hack. The CertiK team verified the breach and promptly notified users through a warning published on the CertiK Alert page.
Despite the prompt response, the hackers were able to disseminate false information regarding an exploit in the Uniswap Router. They also added a phishing link to the Revoke Cash website.
