Uwerx was exploited on August 2, 2023 for $327,000 (176 ETH). Attacker flash-loaned 20,000 ETH, swapped for WERX tokens, dumped them into Uniswap pool, then used the skim() function with a specific address.
The 1% burn mechanism on transfers created a price imbalance the attacker arbitraged for profit.
