X100 on Ethereum Exploited, Attackers Drain ~4.85M USDT

X100, an Ethereum-based project, suffered an ongoing exploit that had drained about 4.85 million USDT across two transactions as of 22:49, security firm Blockaid said on October 24. One attacker seized two of the project’s three “Senate” governance seats and sold 400,000 X tokens from the treasury into a self-created empty pool, while a second attacker destroyed the Uniswap V3 liquidity position held by the “Freezer” contract. Blockaid published the attacker addresses and sample transactions.

AI take

The mechanics here matter more than the dollar figure: a governance-seat takeover paired with a liquidity-position kill is a coordinated strike on both control and exit routes, not a simple contract bug. Projects that vest treasury and pool control in a small set of privileged roles — here, Senate seats and a Freezer contract — carry structural risk that audits of code alone won't catch. Watch whether Blockaid's published addresses lead to tracing or recovery, and whether other projects with similar seat-based governance review their role assignments.
