The generated tokens were then sold on the market, converting them into 700.8 ETH. At the prices during the transaction, the total value of the Ethereum was estimated to be approximately $1.76 million. It was reported that the attacker transferred the obtained ETH from the Base network to the Ethereum mainnet.
