The crypto sector suffered one of its biggest security incidents this year after a hacker swiped US$63mil (RM297.99mil) from a blockchain-based game.

The game, Munchables, confirmed the incident in a post on X on Wednesday and said it would try to halt the transactions. Blockchain specialists PeckShield indicated the hacker stole 17,400 in Ether tokens – worth about US$63mil (RM297.99mil) at current prices. Public data on crypto transactions backed the estimate.
