On March 21, 2024 — four days after launch — a critical infinite-mint vulnerability in the SSS token contract was exploited, draining approximately $4.6–4.8 million (1,310 ETH) from its liquidity pool and causing the token to lose over 99% of its value. The attacker claimed to be a white-hat actor, and most funds were returned minus a 5% bounty; however, approximately 40 ETH were separately stolen by a distinct black-hat actor and the failed audit by Verichains raises material security governance concerns.","timeline":[{"date":"2024-03-17","event":"Super Sushi Samurai (SSS) token launches on the Blast layer-2 network with a market cap of approximately $27.75 million.","source":""},{"date":"2024-03-21","event":"An attacker exploits an infinite-mint vulnerability in the SSS token contract, draining approximately 1,310 ETH ($4.6–4.8 million) from the liquidity pool.
