The attacker has made away with $1.25 million worth of BNB and has swapped it for BSC-USD. The token was created on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) and was a DeFi token that seemingly focused on the NFT niche, and offered a multitude of features. About $500,000 is said to have been swapped to BUSD and being laundered through sanctioned mixing protocol Tornado Cash.
