Astra Nova, an AI-driven crypto project from Saudi Arabia, has reported a major security incident involving its newly launched RVV token.
The project confirmed on Sunday that one of its third-party market maker accounts was infiltrated by an unknown attacker. The compromised account was used to sell off nearly 8.6% of the RVV token’s total supply on the open market.
Details of the Breach
According to blockchain researcher EmberCN, around 860 million RVV tokens changed hands for an estimated 10.288 million USDT. From these funds, the attacker sent 8.226 million USDT to the Gate and KuCoin exchanges, while around 2.041 million USDT remains in a wallet labeled 0x643.
Astra Nova’s Response and Damage Control Efforts
Astra Nova addressed the situation through its official X (Twitter) account, confirming that only a market maker’s wallet, not the project’s core smart contracts, had been compromised.
