As we can read from the official announcements channel in Splinterlands discord server there was security incident. Game servers were offline for very long time and it was not normal planned maintenance. Devs spent a lot of hours to update securtity and to minimalize damage by attacker.

In crypto space not only in gaming projects there so many bad actors which only waiting for an occasion to use exploit. This time token DEC was as we can read from the official announcenent channel

fraudulently credited and successfully processed for bridge withdrawal

Devs already know about incident for approximately 39.5M Dec tokens but total number can change after investigation on the chain.

As we can see from this picture from splintercards site so many DEC tokens were credited by exploit.

It looks for bad actor activity for me because as Splinterlands player I know that DEC inflation was pretty stable in last months and chart shows that DEC inflation just rises in short ammount of time. I also know that Splintercards site could be outdated and development is slow or even suspended but still we got confirmation from official announcement from CEO of the Splinterlands that DEC token was affected by this incident.

Also on splintercards we can check current tokens price and looks like dec token didn't lost value.

I didn't logged yet into the Splinterlands after that but CEO of the Splinterlands wrote in that official announcement that individual players should be not affected by this hack. I know that that kind of attacks happen from time to time and to protect myself I just locking my cards. You never know what kind of exploit can be used in the future so if I don't want to rebalance my card collection I love have them locked for very long time. Peakmonsters site still shows that many transactions of the hive blockchain just need to be processed and have really big delay. So we don't know what is the total damage but I hope that devs just secured the game.
