The best tokens even exchanged under pressure as a several million dollars hack in the layer 2 network of Shiba Inu, Shibarium, worked the confidence of investors in joke cryptocurrencies.
Sunday, Shibarium was the victim of a flash loan attack against its validator system, which drained approximately $ 2.4 million in ether (Eth) and Shib. The Coindesk Memecoin index fell 6.6% in the last 24 hours. The wider index of the Coindesk 20 market is down just 2.3%.
The striker borrowed 4.6 million bones, the governance token for the Shiba Inu ecosystem, often linked to the decentralized exchange (Dex) Shibaswap, via a flash loan to take control of the majority of validator keys. The keys act as network guards, confirming transactions and guaranteeing security.
With this control, the attacker was able to play the system to approve the unauthorized transactions and leave with a large quantity of cryptographic assets of the bridge which connects Shibarium to the Ethereum blockchain. The process is similar to someone who temporarily takes up a bank’s security system to approve unauthorized withdrawals. A flash loan is a loan raised without initial warranty and returns the assets borrowed in the same blockchain transaction.
The Shiba Inu team was able to prevent a greater and more serious breach because the bone tokens used to take control would have been linked to the validator 1 and remained locked by the staging rules.
Nevertheless, the markets reacted negatively a violation, which again highlights the sustainable security problems with blockchain technology.

Large Doge transfers add to the lowering feeling
Meanwhile, the peer of Shib Dogecoin Sunday from 4% to 27.80 cents and has since lost 5% to 27.36 cents, according to Coindesk data.
A massive transfer of DOGE to a centralized exchange probably added to the downward mood of the market. According to Whale Alert, Crypto Exchange OKX received 119,306,143 DOGE, worth more than $ 34 million, from an unknown portfolio. Such important transfers are generally associated with an intention to liquidate assets.
