AUSD's Issuer Says Its Stablecoin 'Does Not Exist on Initia.' A Hacker Minted 2 Million There Anyway and Left With 1.4M Real Ones. The Chain Is Still Off
At 15:41:30 UTC on October 23, Initia halted its L1 and every rollup after an attacker used what co-founder Ezaan Mangalji calls a 'Day 0 bug' in its MoveVM to mint unbacked tokens. They bridged out about $2.7M in AUSD, ETH and USDC to Ethereum. Per D2 Finance, $2.65M of it landed there within 7 minutes 21 seconds. Agora says AUSD isn't on Initia at all. There's no restart date yet.
