Security firm Blockaid reported that a hacker withdrew roughly $86,000 from UNCX Network's shared token vesting pool on Ethereum. The exploit was still active when detected. The attacker opened vesting positions, released tokens, added extra tokens, then cancelled a position to pull assets belonging to other projects. After the drain, the pool still held several million dollars in assets. UNCX provides token locking services for projects.
