Fact Check
Both provided sources, though from different crypto news outlets, corroborate the key details of the statement. They both identify UXLINK as the target, mention a hack or suspected exploit, and specify the amount as $11.3 million. The recency of the articles ('1 hour ago', '2 hours ago') and the attribution to a security firm (Cyvers) in one source lend strong credibility to the claim.
Summary
An on-chain analyst reported that an address spent 273 ETH to buy UXLINK tokens on the Arbitrum network, only for a hacker to inflate the token supply, causing a near-zero price drop. The address now faces a floating loss of $925,000, representing a 99.8% loss in value.
