The fork was already fighting an uphill battle with how they would operate in parallel to Ethereum, but they had a big issue right off the bat…their chainID was matching other existing chainID's, which wou...
Another Day, Another Hack: Acala’s aUSD Exploited
On this edition of “Another Day, Another Hack”, another stablecoin has been hit, but maybe not to UST proportions.

I’d say Durov might have the upper-hand, as long as his future products aren’t faulty.
