Normie Meme Coin Suffers Exploit, Vows to Relaunch After Negotiating Hacker Bounty

This article was published more than a year ago. Some information may no longer be current.

Normie, a meme coin launched on Base, suffered an exploit that took its market capitalization from almost $42 million to $1 million. The exploiter sent a message offering to keep 10% of the ETH exploited, and demanding that the remaining 90% and the 600 ETH still present in the wallet of the token developers be leveraged to β€œfairly launch a new token that is used to reimburse NORMIE holders.” In its now-suspended X account, the Normie team accepted the hacker’s offer and vowed to relaunch the token after recovering the funds exploited, reimbursing NORMIE holders.
