Roll Wallet suffered a major security breach on the morning of 14th March, costing users millions of dollars. The hacker was able to sell off various personal tokens built using Roll\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s<\/em><\/strong> service.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Roll Network<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Roll <\/strong>mints branded digital tokens, unique to a user\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s presence, allowing one to own, control and coordinate the value they create cross-platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ethereum wallets capable of making transactions from the Ethereum blockchain<\/a> and within the Roll Network are also provided, one of which got hacked. A simple link-based system is operated to make sending and receiving social tokens as simple as sending a text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hack<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the official report<\/strong>, the team at Roll mentioned that the hackers were able to steal all the tokens from the wallet and sell them on Uniswap for ETH. At the time of writing, it seems like the private keys were compromised<\/a>, instead of a bug in the Roll smart contracts or any token contracts<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Social tokens, namely\u00e2\u20ac\u201d WHALE, RARE, and PICA<\/strong> tanked more than 50% during the early hours, reported the data provider CoinGecko<\/strong>. Meanwhile, the RLY token of competing social money platform Rally <\/strong>spiked to all-time highs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
