RocketSwap, a special kind of place on the internet where people trade, got into trouble. A sneaky hacker found a way to take a huge amount of money - 471 ETH, which is like $870,000!This made people worry about the safety of the special network RocketSwap uses, called Base. It&#39;s not the first time something like this happened. Another place like RocketSwap, called LeetSwap, also got hurt a few months ago, losing $630,000.Experts who know about computer security, like PeckShield, looked into it. They say the hacker used a bunch of problems in RocketSwap&#39;s computer system to do the bad thing.One problem was that when RocketSwap started, it didn&#39;t use strong enough security measures. Another problem was that secret codes were kept in a not-so-safe place on a computer server, making it easier for the hacker.RocketSwap says they&#39;re sorry and that they should have done better to keep things safe. But they also say they didn&#39;t do anything wrong.Guess what? After stealing the money, the hacker didn&#39;t stop there. They moved the money to another place and made a new type of digital thing called a &#39;memecoin&#39; – like a digital joke. People actually started buying this memecoin, and its price went up fast! But then it went down a lot, almost losing all its value.
