ChainCatcher news, according to X-explore, "scientists" are exploiting the FTX vulnerability to steal GAS, minting XEN TOKEN 17,000 times at zero cost. The GAS theft is still ongoing, with a total amount stolen reaching 81 ETH. Analysis indicates that the reason is that FTX has no fees for withdrawals while not imposing limits on the Gas Limit for withdrawal transactions.

It is reported that the hacker's address has obtained over 100 million XEN Tokens and has exchanged some of the XEN tokens for 61 ETH through decentralized exchanges such as DoDo and Uniswap, depositing them into FTX and Binance exchanges. (source link)
