PANews reported on October 19th that Astra Nova (RVV) tweeted that one of its third-party market-making accounts had been compromised. A malicious attacker took control of the account and began liquidating assets. The team stated that they are taking action, and that their smart contracts and infrastructure remain fully secure and have undergone a thorough audit. Furthermore, the team is utilizing on-chain forensics to track the breach and will contact law enforcement as soon as evidence is collected.

In response, some users alleged that the project was involved in insider trading, and the Astra Nova Discord group has been muted. On-chain data shows that the suspected hacker's address obtained over 2 million USDT by selling RVV. Astra Nova recently launched on Binance Alpha and announced $48.3 million in funding to expand its tokenized content tools and creator platform.
