One of the hackers behind the 20-minute, ₹60,000-crore Binance hack made a ₹47-crore mistake, as per crypto transaction data. In a rush to convert stolen cryptocurrencies, the hacker dumped 908,793 PROM tokens, valued at over ₹47 crore, into a Uniswap V2 liquidity pool without realising it was nearly empty. The hacker received just 0.0316 ETH in return, worth only ₹6,700.
