GemPad Exploit Affects DUB Token and ALB Holdings
GemPad Exploit Affects DUB Token and ALB Holdings
🚨 GemPad Exploit Plot Twist
A significant exploit on GemPad has impacted multiple tokens on Base network, including community-created $DUB token. The attacker managed to bypass lock protections through an undisclosed mechanism, acquiring and dumping a substantial amount of $ALB tokens.
Key points:
- Exploit activity has concluded
- GemPad contracts have been paused
- Alien Base platform remains secure
- Users advised to withdraw LP from DUB pool
Status Update: While Alien Base was not directly compromised, $ALB experienced collateral damage. Further information and remediation plans will be shared once available.
Action Required: Remove liquidity from DUB pool until situation stabilizes.
It appears that a fairly large exploit has occurred on Gempad, which has unfortunately involved one of the tokens made by our community members, $DUB. We’re still investigating the issue, but several tokens on Base were affected. The exploit was able to override lock
The worst of the exploit is over as the hacker finished their $DUB and $ALB and the contracts have been paused on the @TheGemPad side. It’s important to note that our platform was not directly involved, but unfortunately $ALB suffered collateral damage. We’ll share more
