UXLINK will launch a token swap after a hacker exploited its multi-sig wallet and began minting tokens while also draining millions in assets. Summary UXLINK suffered a $11.3M hack via multi-sig breach. Token price dropped over 70% after exploit. UXLINK plans token swap to restore supply integrity as hacker continues unauthorized minting.
