According to the developers, the hacker borrowed “a huge amount” in Binance Coin (BNB) on PancakeSwap. He used funds to manipulate the price of USDT / BNB and BUNNY / BNB.
During the attack, the PancakeBunny token rate rose from $ 150 to $ 240, and then collapsed to zero. At the time of writing, the coin is trading at around $ 26. According to CoinGecko, BUNNY has lost 81.8% over the past 24 hours.

Project representatives emphasized that user funds were not affected. The developers did not name the exact amount of losses.
