Incident Details

The “Feminist Metaverse” ($FM) token suddenly plunged in value by 99.7% after an attacker stole 1,838 BNB ($533,000). The hacker quickly transferred the stolen funds to the Tornado Cash tumbler to help hide their tracks.The project advertised on its website its plans to “Create Feminist economics in the form of a DAO to balance the male-dominated world.” The project’s whitepaper explains how the metaverse will apparently “greatly reduce the impacts on women’s normal work and inequality in wages brought by their physiological differences and pregnancy. As a consequence, it helps eliminating a number of unresolved problems in the real world like gender discrimination, inequality in wages, sexual harassments, sexual assaults, trafficking of women and child marriage.” It’s not clear what specifically the “Feminist Metaverse” project was hoping to achieve.

Total loss estimated at $533,000.
