A million-dollar EOS gambling dApp suffered a major blow.
Hackers have taken 40,000 EOS ($200,000) from the operating wallet of EOS Bet by exploiting vulnerabilities in its smart contracts.
This bug was not minor.
Hackers were only successful due to a fault in its code.
This tricked EOSBet’s system into illegitimately sending a huge amount of EOS.
EOSBet has made no such declarations.
