Promote with Leviathan NewsAn attacker exploited a vulnerability in the Gala Games (GALA) token smart contract to unauthorizely mint 5 billion GALA tokens, worth roughly $200 million at the time, and began swapping large amounts of GALA for ETH on-chain, including via Uniswap, triggering alarms as explorers like Etherscan showed the flows in real time. The attacker sold around 600 million GALA for nearly 6,000 ETH and dumped roughly $29 million of GALA across decentralized exchanges, driving a rapid price drop of about 15–19% as the market interpreted the transactions as a major hack.
