UXLINK Breach Deepens With Ongoing Token Mints, $11.3 Million Drained

The project plans a token swap to restore supply integrity following exchange freezes.

Overview

  • Investigators say a delegateCall exploit let the attacker remove admin rights and seize UXLINK’s multisig wallet.
  • The attacker minted an estimated 1–2 billion tokens, sold roughly 490 million on DEXes, and converted proceeds to about 6,732 ETH (around $28.1 million).
  • UXLINK reports most exchange-held funds tied to the hack have been frozen, with platforms including Upbit halting suspect deposits.
  • The team engaged PeckShield, notified law enforcement, and asked users to avoid trading as it coordinates with major CEXs and DEXs.
  • UXLINK’s token plunged more than 70% after the breach, erasing roughly $70 million in market value, though the project says user wallets were not directly affected.
