GMX Investor Stole $3.5 Million GMX Token
An anonymous DeFi user lost $3.5 million in GMX tokens as a result of a phishing attack.
The anonymous user with an investment in GMX, the native token of the decentralized crypto exchange and trading protocol GMX, was possibly tricked into consenting to a malicious transaction. GMX tokens were stolen from the wallet of the user who provided the required signature.
According to the records also revealed by Lookonchain, a large GMX investor’s wallet was emptied. The phishing scammer converted 82,519 stolen GMX into Ethereum (ETH). Then he tried to erase his trace by moving these ETHs to other protocols.
