It has been announced that the new order router of the Telegram trading bot Unibot has fallen victim to a hack attack on the transaction confirmation section. The official X account of the bot stated, “Our new router has been targeted, and a token confirmation hack attack has occurred. We have temporarily stopped the router to control the issue.” 
The statement also mentioned, “All stolen user funds will be reimbursed due to the error in our new router. Your keys and wallets are safe.” 
According to the data detected by the on-chain data tracking platform Lookonchain, the wallet address belonging to the actor(s) behind the hack attack currently holds just over 630 thousand dollars worth of cryptocurrencies, mostly consisting of <a href="http://en.coin-turk.com/record-breaking-interest-in-cme-groups-ethereum-options-what-does-this-mean-for-the-cryptocurrency/" data-wpel-link="internal">Ethereum</a> (<a href="http://en.coin-turk.com/surprising-revelation-donald-trumps-ethereum-portfolio-and-nft-profits/" data-wpel-link="internal">ETH</a>) and then USD Coin (USDC). The transactions that these actors will carry out with these funds are being closely monitored.
