Banana Gun will refund $3 million stolen from users after a Telegram bot exploit. The bots have been reactivated with enhanced security measures following a thorough investigation. In a recent post on X, Banana Gun announced plans to refund $3 million stolen from users affected by a Telegram bot exploit last week. The incident impacted eleven users, with hackers stealing 563 ETH from 36 separate wallets associated with the bot. Notably, Banana Gun confirmed that no tokens will be sold to cover these reimbursements. The attack specifically targeted experienced traders and crypto veterans. Individuals known for their social presence and trading expertise, making them harder to deceive.
