What happened

PSYOP's users were affected by a phishing attack, and the exploiters stole 122,549 $USD worth of assets.

PSYOP is a BEP20 token trading on UniSwap. The token's creator retweeted another Twitter account that had been compromised. The users were sent to a phishing site and got their funds drained by the exploiter.

Various assets including $PSYOP, $BEN, $WETH, and $UNI were transferred to the malicious address and consequently swapped to $ETH. The stolen funds were distributed between multiple EOA addresses. The total stolen amount reached 122,549 $USD.

The creator of the PSYOP project promised to compensate the full amount to affected users.
