EOS gambling dApp Look into Attack

A spokesman from EOSBet has since come out and said the following:

“A few hours ago, we were attacked, and about 40,000 EOS was taken from our bankroll.

This bug was not minor as was stated previously, and we are still doing forensics and piecing together what happened.”

EOSBet has since taken EOS gambling dApp offline until they have found out what exactly has happened. The spokesman does admit the hackers were successful due to a fault in its code.

“EOSBet should be back online relatively quickly. We have narrowed down the bug to a faulty assertion statement in our code.” 

“After talking with other developers and BPs, it seems like other games were also attacked using this same exact code abi forwarder.”

It appears hackers were able to call EOSBet’s “transfer” function externally, using a fake hash. This tricked EOSBet’s system into illegitimately sending a huge amount of EOS.
