"A token approval exploit occurred on our new router. We have paused our router to contain the problem," confirmed Unibot the attack.
So far, the hackers have stolen about US$640,000 in various cryptocurrencies, the company said.
Scopescan advises users to revoke authorizations for the affected contract (0x126c9FbaB3A2FCA24eDfd17322E71a5e36E91865) and transfer funds to a new wallet.
As a result of the attack, the price of UNIBOT dropped by about 28 percent. At the time of writing, the token is trading at $44.73.
