ChainCatcher reports that on the X platform, on-chain investigator ZachXBT stated that Pepe creator Matt Furie and his platform ChainSaw’s associated projects, such as Replicandy and Peplicator, were attacked in mid-June, allegedly due to the accidental hiring of North Korean IT personnel.

The attackers took control of contract permissions to mint and sell NFTs, causing the floor price to drop to zero. The initial estimated total loss exceeds $1 million, with approximately $310,000 stolen from ChainSaw-related projects.
