According to Nexus Mutual on Twitter, Krap, the founder of Nexus Mutual, was hacked. According to network data, hackers withdrew 370,000 NXM currency from Karp's wallet, thereby extracting the current value of approximately US$8.2 million (currently approximately US$6.45 million). As soon as the news came out, the NXM token dropped by 16% to 16.1 USD
According to the official statement of Nexus Mutual, the hacker seems to have obtained remote control of Karp's computer, installed a "modified" Metamask, and then asked Krap to sign a transaction to send funds to a designated wallet address.
The hacker appears to be a member of the Nexus Mutual community and passed KYC about 11 days ago. Community manager Nexus Mutual told the foreign media "Cointelegraph" that they believe that the hacker has passed the KYC certification with a forged certificate, so normal legal channels may not be able to bring him to justice.
