The hacker has sold roughly $1.2 million in tokens so far but is having trouble converting the entire amount into stablecoins or ETH due to illiquidity.
AllianceBlock said on Twitter the incident is isolated to the BonqDAO troves and no smart contracts were breached. Both teams worked on removing liquidity to mitigate the hacker converting the stolen tokens into other assets, and have stopped all exchange trading. AllianceBlock also paused bridging on the AllianceBlock Bridge until the situation is resolved.
AllianceBlock is working on a resolution to compensate affected albt holders. It has taken a snapshot of holders before the attack and will mint and airdrop new albt tokens to affected users.
